Abstract
An apparatus moves a warp thread in a controlled manner by a punctuate compulsory guidance between three positions, namely a middle, an upper and a lower position. It comprises a pendulum which is pivotal about an axis and into which an electrical coil is integrated and stationary permanent magnets. The named positions are given by equilibrium positions of the pendulum, with forces which act on the pendulum in these positions being in each case in an equilibrium. The equilibrium positions for the upper or the lower position respectively can be produced by forces between the permanent magnets and the currently carrying coil; the equilibrium position for the middle position is given by the pendulum with a current-less coil.
