Abstract:
A toy that has a pair of wheel-like members mounted on a central axle. The central axle is a ferrous metal rod with a pair of small permanent or other magnets attached to each end of the rod. The two magnets are positioned so that like poles face each other in opposition and face the center of the rod. A non-ferrous support plate such as a flat piece of wood with a metal strip on its edges forms a track. The magnets associated with the axle causes the toy to achieve the effect of clinging to the metal strip portions of the track. When the device is placed on the track, it will roll along the track under the force of gravity while magnetically clinging to the track in any horizontal or vertical position of the track.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of suspending a rolling toy on a track comprising:\n passing a ferrous metal central axle through two side members centrally separated from each other to expose a portion of the axle; attaching a pair of permanent magnets, one to each end of the axle, the permanent magnets positioned so that like poles of the permanent magnets face each other causing an opposing magnetic field in the axle; positioning a continuous flat ferrous metal strip connected end-to-end attached on an edge of a flat non-ferrous plate, the width of the metal strip being slightly narrower than the portion of the axle exposed; placing the exposed portion of the axle on the metal strip in a manner where the exposed portion of the axle contacts one flat surface of the metal strip, wherein the axle rolls with approximately constant speed along the strip without support in any vertical or horizontal position under gravitational force and a clinging magnetic force existing between the axle and the track.
