Patent ID: 8540311

Claim:
A magnetically suspended chair device comprising, in combination: a base; a first electromagnet centrally and upwardly disposed on the base, the first electromagnet having a core surrounded by a coil, the first electromagnet having a first pole spaced apart from a second pole; a magnet case surrounding the first electromagnet; a power supply connected to the first electromagnet; a first arm assembly positioned upwardly on the base; a second arm assembly spaced apart from the first arm assembly and positioned upwardly on the base; a pad disposed atop each arm assembly; controls disposed on at least one of the arm assemblies, the controls in communication with the first electromagnet; a seat assembly the seat assembly having a seat bottom and a seat back; an at least one guide disposed on each side of the seat assembly, each guide configured to slideably interact with each one of the arm assemblies, respectively; a second electromagnet disposed downwardly on the seat bottom, the second electromagnet positioned by the guides to be directly above the first electromagnet, the second electromagnet having a core surrounded by a coil, the second electromagnet having a first pole spaced apart from a second pole, the second pole of the second electromagnet configured to face the second pole of the first electromagnet, the second electromagnet in communication with the power supply and the controls; whereby the controls are configured to turn on a repulsive force of the electromagnets in positioning the seat assembly above the base.
