Abstract: There is described a toy assembly for mounting a toy to a crib rail and the like and for alternatively supporting the toy on a self-supporting stand. The toy assembly is constructed from a mounting bracket which is adjustable for accommodating various constructions and sizes of crib rails, as well as to be converted into a self-supporting stand for mounting the toy thereto. The toy is removably secured to the mounting bracket so that it may be removed for independent play as desired by the child.

Abstract: A crib toy adapted for back and forth motion along a crib rail by operation of a reversing mechanism is described and illustrated. The reversing mechanism is constructed generally from a support plate spring biased between a first and second position. Journaled adjacent one edge of the support plate is a first and second gear for alternate engagement with a drive gear depending upon the position of the support plate. The support plate is reciprocally moved between the first and second position for respective engagement of the first and second gears with the drive gear by means of a single cam surface and cam follower. The engagement of the first gear with the drive gear causes the crib toy to move along the crib rail in one direction while engagement of the drive gear with the second gear causes movement in the opposite direction. An assembly is provided which further causes pivotal movement of certain parts of the crib toy to increase its play value.
