Abstract
A heald frame for a weaving machine includes stops () made of a material with shock-absorbing properties associated with the ends of the healds (). A gap is provided between the heald ends and the stops, such gap ensuring that the healds can be moved along guide rails forming part of the heald frame while reducing noise and potentially damaging vibrations. The healds are held on the guide rails with play and are moved by and limited in their movements in a longitudinal direction by the stops.
