A shed-forming apparatus on a wave-type loom wherein a plurality of separate sheds move one after the other simultaneously across the width of the loom, a shuttle carrying a weft thread moving in each of the separate sheds and the warp threads forming the sheds are actuated by heddles, the apparatus comprising a plurality of heddles divided into groups which execute phase-displaced movements, the periodicity of these movements being repeated at intervals corresponding to the shuttle-pitchs; drive means for causing selected groups of heddles to execute these movements; and a movement-imparting element connected to those groups of heddles driven by said drive means and to other heddles not driven by said drive means. The heddles and the movement-imparting elements linked therewith are disposed in one plane, are movable therein, and are arranged so that actuation of the selected group of heddles by the drive means also causes actuation of the other groups of heddles.
