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.

Crib toy

A case having a hinged top supporting a mirror and battery-powered lighting structure including rows of at least three transparent bulbous globes along opposite side edges of the mirror, a single electric bulb adjacent each row of globes, a reflector positioned opposite each globe and rearward of the bulb and adapted to reflect light from the single bulb into each row of globes and commonly through all of the globes to illuminate said mirror from opposite edges, the case having a compartment in which a doll head with a wig and a base is storable in horizontal position in the compartment and is mountable in upright position upon support mechanism in the case selectively to face the mirror when the top is vertical or the front of the case. Batteries are positioned in another compartment in the case and an electric circuit connects the batteries to the electric bulbs and a switch in the circuit together with an outlet socket into which a plug on an electric cord to a small imitation hair dryer is connectable to drive an electric motor and fan in the small housing of the dryer.
