Abstract
A projection extending from a side support for defining a detachable edge connection at the heddle frame, which detachable edge is clamped down by a clamping screw carried in a hollow frame stave. A vibration damper element is positioned between the side support and the projection and is connected thereto preferably by bonding. The vibration damper element is an elastomer and has a strip-like shape having a width corresponding with the width of the side support. The side support is connected to the frame stave at each edge connection via the vibration damper element, and vibrations occurring in high speed weaving machines, which vibrations can lead to material ruptures at the side support, are dampened.
