Abstract
A floating magnetic vehicle and track toy for education and entertainment of users includes an annular plate that has an inside edge and an outside edge. A first rim, positioned adjacent to the inside edge, and a second rim, positioned adjacent to the outside edge, are coupled to and extend perpendicularly from the annular plate. A plurality of first magnets is coupled to the annular plate. The toy comprises a car that comprises a plurality of second magnets. The second magnets are positioned on the car to repel the first magnets to suspend the car above the annular plate. The first rim and the second rim are positioned on the annular plate to retain the car between the first rim and the second rim. The car is configured to be motivated around the annular plate by a pushing action of a user.

A floating magnetic vehicle and track toy comprising:
- an annular plate having an inside edge and an outside edge;
- a first rim coupled to and extending perpendicularly from said annular plate adjacent to said inside edge;
- a second rim coupled to and extending perpendicularly from said annular plate adjacent to said outside edge;
- a plurality of first magnets coupled to said annular plate;
- a car comprising a plurality of second magnets;
- and
- wherein said second magnets are positioned on said car such that said second magnets are positioned to repel said first magnets, such that said car is suspended above said annular plate, wherein said first rim and said second rim are positioned on said annular plate such that said first rim and said second rim are positioned to retain said car between said first rim and said second rim, wherein said car is configured to be motivated around said annular plate by a pushing action of a user.
A floating magnetic vehicle and track toy comprising:
- an annular plate having an inside edge and an outside edge, said annular plate having opposing side sections and opposing ends sections said opposing side sections being linear, said opposing end sections being arcuate;
- a first rim coupled to and extending perpendicularly from said annular plate adjacent to said inside edge;
- a second rim coupled to and extending perpendicularly from said annular plate adjacent to said outside edge;
- a plurality of first magnets coupled to said annular plate, said first magnets being positioned in a plurality of rows, each said row extending annularly around said annular plate, said rows being substantially evenly spaced between said inside edge and said outside edge, said plurality of rows comprising three said rows;
- a car comprising a plurality of second magnets, wherein said second magnets are positioned on said car such that said second magnets are positioned to repel said first magnets, such that said car is suspended above said annular plate, said car comprising:
- a housing,
- said plurality of second magnets being coupled to a bottom of said housing, said plurality of second magnets being positioned in a plurality of lines, said lines being parallel, said plurality of lines comprising three said lines, said plurality of second magnets comprising eighteen said second magnets,
- a plurality of rollers rotationally coupled to a side of said housing,
- each said roller comprising:
- a pair of arms extending perpendicularly from said side of said housing, and
- a wheel positioned between said pair of arms and rotationally coupled to each of said pair of arms, such that said wheel is perpendicular to said side of said housing, said plurality of rollers comprising two said rollers positioned singly proximate to opposing ends of said housing, and
- wherein said rollers are positioned on said housing such that said rollers are positioned to rotate along said second rim as said car is motivated around said annular plate;
- and
- wherein said second magnets are positioned on said car such that said second magnets are positioned to repel said first magnets, such that said car is suspended above said annular plate, wherein said first rim and said second rim are positioned on said annular plate such that said first rim and said second rim are positioned to retain said car between said first rim and said second rim, wherein said car is configured to be motivated around said annular plate by a pushing action of a user.
