  • Patent number: 4449321
    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.
