A toy including a figure adapted to be moved slowly from a lowered position in which the figure is concealed behind a portion of a housing to a raised position in which the figure is visible and to be moved rapidly from its raised position to the lowered position. The mechanism moving the figure is driven by a music box and includes a post supporting the figure, a pin fixed to the post, an actuating arm having an aperture at one end in which the pin is loosely engaged and being secured to a housing at its other end. The means driven by the music box to cause the arm to reciprocate between the raised and lowered positions, also rotates the figure about a verticle axis.

A disposer mount assembly includes a non-rotatable plastic sink flange having a tubular portion extending downwardly through and beneath the drain opening and terminating in a lip resiliently embraced by an elastomeric cushion mount, a mounting ring with inclined camming slots rotatably mounted on the tubular portion by the cushion mount, and a disposer hopper having an upper flange with lugs projecting radially outwardly therefrom into the camming slots. Selective rotation of the mounting ring cams the lugs upwardly along the inclined camming slots to a final locked position therein in which the correspondingly elevated hopper flange is connected to the mount ring and compresses the cushion mount, thereby to provide a tight resilient seal between the disposer and sink flange to absorb vibration and sound.
