Abstract
Weaving heddles, intended for paired operation, are rendered spring-like resilient in the areas adjacent the end eyes to prevent breakage of the heddles in operation by the high degree of dynamic loading. Such spring-like resiliency is achieved by a provision of a shape change, such as a recess or inwardly bowed section, in the heddles adjacent the end eyes and at a location between the adjacent end eyes and the elongated shaft section of the heddle body.
