Abstract: An ornamental display apparatus suited for the Christmas season having a concealable figurine that is movable from a concealed position to a display position. While the figurine is in the display position, seasonal music is broadcasted. The ornamental display apparatus generally comprises a base, a botanical model, a housing, a figurine, a motorized drive assembly and a music broadcasting means. The botanical model is disposed on the base, and the housing is enclosed within the botanical model. The botanical model is movable between an open and closed position. The figurine resides atop the base and is movable between a concealed position within the housing and an exposed position external to the botanical model. The motorized drive assembly moves the figurine between the concealed and exposed position, as well as the botanical model between the open and closed position.

Abstract: The invention is a music box which includes a power supply, a motor, gears coupled with the motor, conductors connecting the power supply and the motor, and a music-producing element. At least one platform element is supported atop the housing for pivoting motion about a horizontal axis. Each platform element will support a figurine, character or other object. A linking assembly couples the gears with each platform element. The linking assembly is constrained for substantially linear, reciprocating, motion in a horizontal plane. A rotary output shaft bears a disk having a pin arranged eccentrically thereon. The pin is engagable with one portion of the linking assembly for driving the latter in the linear motion.
