Thanks for the tip, but that isn't the patent I'm translating.
All the same you've helped me find the right teminology.
Deborah do Carmo Nov 12, 2006:
The official EN version of the patent of invention you're translating is there. (Is a Belgian patent)

forked heddle (NFP)

As LL did the groundwork, this is a supplementary suggestion based on the assumption that hefhevel = heddle, and the fact that the translator of the patent cited by LL apparently didn't know how to translate 'broekhevel' and simply dodged the issue.

For a graphic (literally) example, see:

Peer comment(s):

neutral Deborah do Carmo : hefhevel is lifting heddle (not just heddle), furthermore "forked heddle" has one hit worldwide, so I wouldn't be too quick to assume the patent translator dodged anything yet/appears so

As can be seen from the drawing in the cited source, the item in question (whatever it may be called) is forked, which is what the 'broek' part of the word means. If all heddles have this form, then 'forked' is naturally redundant.
