Abstract
A device for connecting a heddle of a weaving loom to a harness cord which includes an endpiece adapted to be molded on an upper end of the heddle and which end piece forms an orifice for receiving one of the harness cords. A sheath is provided for surrounding a harness cord passing through the orifice to thereby provide a structure wherein interference between adjacent heddles is avoided.
