Abstract
A weaving machine for making triaxial fabrics in which heddles are positioned in weftwise rows of parallel heddles, moved longitudinally during warp shed formation, and shifted weftwise. Heddles of the weaving machine of this invention have means thereon for preventing entrance of more than one heddle into the same passageway, in the form of weftwise lateral projections for engagement with an adjacent heddle so as to facilitate proper guidance of heddles in the weftwise row into guiding passageways during longitudinal movement and weftwise shifting of the heddles.
