Abstract: A weaving loom shaft has removable heddle support bars to facilitate their replacement in the loom shaft upon movement of the support bars solely toward one another in the plane of the weaving loom shaft. Slidable telescopic connectors are utilized for removably mounting the heddle support bars in place, such that the heddle support bars can be replaced in the loom shaft upon movement in a direction solely toward the center of the shaft perpendicular to the parallel support rods of the loom shaft.
