Abstract: An improved bifurcated center brace apparatus for a loom harness that extends between upper and lower harness frame members. One or more center braces extend between the frame members in abutting relationship therewith and are secured to an associated frame member for a quick and simple installation and release. The bifurcated center brace has two spaced apart elongated rod members that extend between the frame members. The center brace has a top bar extending between the top ends of the rod members and a pair of feet connected to and extending inwardly from the bottom ends of the rod members. The top bar and feet abut in surface contact with the upper and lower frame members, respectively. The top bar and the feet are screw mounted to the frame members and can be easily released therefrom. The center brace also has at least one cross bar extending between the elongated rod members.
