Abstract
An improved heddle (2), on its end eyelet (7), has a spring means (14) which braces the end eyelet (7) resiliently in at least one direction on a heddle support rail 3. The spring means (14) serves to avoid play between the heddle (2) and the heddle shaft (1). This provision makes it possible to increase the operating speed of power looms.
