Abstract
A heddle () for flat, band-shaped warp threads () is provided with a thread eyelet (), for which the width preferably exceeds the height. A thread eyelet () of this type prevents a deformation of the band-shaped warp thread (), in particular a compressing on the sides during the shed formation. In addition, the heddle () according to the invention is preferably provided with thread guiding surfaces, which are longer than the thickness of the heddle () body (), relative to the running direction of the warp thread. As a result of these measures, the wear on the heddle () as well as the warp thread () can be reduced.
