Claim 10:
11. A method of switching an on-off switchable magnet assembly, the method comprising the steps of:
providing the on-off switchable magnet assembly, the assembly comprising:
a housing;
a plurality of first magnets mounted to the housing, each of the first magnets defining first and second opposite poles;
a plurality of second magnets mounted to the housing, each of the second magnets defining first and second opposite poles;
a plurality of first ferrous members mounted to the housing;
a plurality of second ferrous members mounted to the housing;
wherein the first poles of the first magnets are closest to the first ferrous members and the second poles of the first magnets are closest to the second ferrous members;

switching the on-off switchable magnet assembly from an off position to an on position;
traversing the first poles of the second magnets from being closest to the second ferrous members to being closest to the first ferrous members and the second poles of the second magnets from being closest to the first ferrous members to being closest to the second ferrous members;
switching the on-off switchable magnet assembly from the on position to the off position;
traversing the first poles of the second magnets from being closest to the first ferrous members to being closest to the second ferrous members and the second poles of the second magnets from being closest to the second ferrous members to the first ferrous members.
