Abstract
A multi-function mobile comprising an elongate, flexible support bar defining opposed first and second end portions. Attached to the support bar is a connector mechanism which is moveable between latched and unlatched positions. The first and second end portions of the support bar are maintained in close proximity to each other when the connector mechanism is in its latched position. Releaseably engageable to the first and second end portions of the support bar is a pliable cover member which is used to maintain the support bar in a substantially ring-like configuration. An elongate engagement strap is releaseably engageable to the connector mechanism when the same is moved to its unlatched position. The engagement strap is sized and configured such that when engaged to the connector mechanism, the first and second end portions are drawn toward each other in a manner causing the support bar to assume a substantially arch-like configuration.
