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 14):
A method for a roller toy that exhibits yo-yo motion as it rolls along a descending and ascending track comprising:\n placing a non-ferrous support plate constructed to be used in a vertical configuration with at least part of an upper edge smoothly cut to a shape of a descending and ascending roller-coaster curve; attaching a thin ferrous metal strip to the upper edge along the descending and ascending curve; placing a roller device with a pair of wheels attached to a cylindrical ferrous metal axle extending between the wheels with a portion of the axle exposed that is slightly wider than the ferrous metal strip; attaching a pair of permanent magnets on the axle, each having a permanent north and south pole, wherein one of the permanent magnets is attached to each end of the cylindrical metal axle with their permanent magnetic poles in opposition to each other so that if the north pole of one permanent magnet is attached to the axle at a first end, the north pole of the other permanent magnet is attached to the axle at a second end, or if the south pole of one permanent magnet is attached to the axle at the first end, the south pole of the other permanent magnet is attached to the axle at the second end; placing the exposed portion of the axle in contact with the metal strip causing the roller device to descend and ascend the roller-coaster curve at approximately constant speed.
