distant from each other in a width direction of cloth to be woven by the loom; a balance
shaft (11, 12) disposed farther away from a reed (5) than the rocking shafts and extending
in said width direction, the balance shaft being disposed between the neighboring
rocking shafts; and a pair of connection units (41, 42) for respectively connecting
two opposite ends of the balance shaft with ends of the neighboring rocking shafts.

of the balance shaft is greater than a flexural-rigidity of the balance shaft in a
direction perpendicular to the rocking direction.
