Abstract: A turtle-shaped frame provided with a recess and a post located within and projecting outwardly from the recess. A plurality of balls are freely disposed within the recess. A hub is rotatably mounted on the frame post and is spaced apart from the recess perimeter to provide a channel within which the balls can be moved. The hub has a flexible projecting member for yieldingly striking at least one of the balls upon rotation of the hub with respect to the post. The hub has a hollow shaft portion to which are connected means for causing bi-directional rotation of the hub. Means are depressably mounted in the frame for producing an audible sound. Means are coupled to the frame for mounting the frame to a crib rail.

Abstract: A compact, washable potter's wheel comprising three separate units, a casing, a motor housing and a turntable assembly. The motor housing and turntable assembly are removably mounted on the casing. A motor is mounted within the housing and has a shaft projecting outwardly therefrom. The turntable assembly includes a turntable having a peripheral rim and a bearing assembly which rotatably supports the turntable. A leaf spring secured to the motor housing contacts a wall of the casing to urge the housing to a first position in which the motor shaft contacts the turntable rim. In this position, the turntable is driven by the motor. A cam member mounted on the motor housing slideably engages the casing wall to urge the housing to a second position in which the motor shaft is spaced apart from the turntable rim. In this position, the turntable may be manually rotated as a lazy susan.
