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 10):
A method for a magnetic roller toy comprising:\n passing a ferrous metal axle through two non-ferrous wheels separated from each other to expose a central portion of the axle; placing a pair of permanent magnets on the axle, one attached to each end of the axle, the permanent magnets positioned so that like permanent magnetic poles face each other; cutting a flat non-ferrous support plate having jigsaw puzzle-like curved edges cut to an arbitrary design; attaching a thin, flat ferrous metal strip to the edges of the flat non-ferrous support plate connected end-to-end, the width of the ferrous metal strip being slightly narrower than the central exposed portion of the axle, wherein a portion of the ferrous metal strip is not continuous, but contains a gap of non-ferrous material attached between ends of the ferrous metal strip. placing the toy on the ferrous metal track in a manner where the exposed central portion of the axle contacts the metal track, wherein the toy rolls along the strip at approximately constant speed with the track in any vertical or horizontal position under gravitational force and a clinging magnetic force existing between the axle and the track, except that when the toy crosses the gap of non-ferrous material, it accelerates.
