FIG. 1 illustrates a mascot mobile 10 in accordance with the present invention. The mascot mobile 10 includes asupport arm 12 for mounting the mobile 10 to a static structure such as arail 58 of a crib or awall 62. Attached to thesupport arm 12 is a disk shapedmember 14. As will be discussed hereinafter, the disk shapedmember 14 houses amotor 16 for causing rotational movement of a portion of the mobile 10 and amechanism 18 for playing a song. Attached to the disk shapedmember 14 is acentral support member 20 with a plurality ofarms 22 that radiate outwardly therefrom. - As can be seen in
FIG. 5 , eacharm 22 has aslot 24 at anend 26 remote from thecentral support member 20. Attached to the end of eacharm 22 is aFIG. 28 (seeFIGS. 1 and 8 ) or a sport related item 30 (seeFIG. 8 ). TheFIG. 28 and/or sportrelated item 30 may be attached to arespective arm 22 by a length ofmaterial 32, such as a length of string, having aknot 34 at oneend 36. Theother end 38 of the length ofmaterial 32 may be attached to theFIG. 28 or the sportrelated item 30 in any suitable manner known in the art, such as by stitching, gluing, etc. TheFIG. 28 and/or the sportrelated item 30 is preferably a plush item formed from a piece of soft material which contains a stuffing. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , apennant 40 may be attached to the length ofmaterial 32 and may be positioned between theFIG. 28 or the sportrelated item 30 and theend 26 of thearm 22. Thepennant 40 may have any suitable shape known in the art. For example, thepennant 40 may have a triangular shape. Thepennant 40 may be formed from any suitable material known in the art and preferably is formed from a soft fabric material. - Referring now to
FIG. 2 , thesupport arm 12 may have afirst arm 42, aconnector 44, and asecond arm 46 having an arcuate shapedend portion 48. Thefirst arm 42 preferably has a threadedportion 50 at one end and a narrowedportion 52 at a second end. Thefirst arm 42 also has ashoulder 47 designed to rest against an upper surface of arail 58 of a crib when thesupport arm 12 is mounted to a crib. The narrowedportion 52 has the same shape as the interior of theconnector 44 and preferably snap fits into the interior of theconnector 44. Thesecond arm 46 also preferably has a narrowedportion 54 which also has the same shape as the interior of theconnector 44 and which also preferably snap fits into the interior of theconnector 44. Theportions connector 44 by frictional contact between theportions connector 44. The arcuate shapedend portion 48 is preferably provided with anaperture 56. - Referring now to
FIG. 6 , thesupport arm 12 may be connected to arail 58 of a crib by positioning theshoulder 47 on an upper surface of therail 58. The threadedportion 50 is preferably positioned under therail 58. A nut or knob-shaped member 60, having an interior thread (not shown), engages the threadedportion 50 and secures thesupport arm 12 to therail 58 of the crib. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , thesupport arm 12 may alternatively be mounted to awall 62 instead of a rail of a crib. In this type of arrangement, thefirst arm 42 is omitted. Theconnector 44 may be provided with twoslots 64 by which securementdevices 66, such as screws or bolts, may be used to mount theconnector 44 to thewall 62. After theconnector 44 has been secured to thewall 62, thesecond arm 46 may be inserted in theconnector 44. - Referring now to
FIG. 7 , the disk shapedmember 14 preferably has ahook 70 at an upper end and a loop shapedelement 72 at a lower end. Thehook 70 is positioned within theaperture 56 to connect the disk shapedmember 14 to thesecond arm 46. As can be seen from this figure, thecentral support member 20 may be provided with ahook 74 which fits into the loopshaped element 72 and thus connects thecentral support member 20 to the diskshaped element 14. - Referring now to
FIGS. 4A and 4B , the disk shapedmember 14 houses amotor 16 which causes rotation of ashaft 80 to which thehook 70 is attached. Themotor 16 may comprise any suitable motor known in the art, such as a spring motor. As previously discussed, the disk shapedmember 14 also houses themechanism 18 for playing a song. Thesong playing mechanism 18 may comprise any suitable means known in the art for playing a song such as a preprogrammed chip. Alternatively, themechanism 18 may comprise adrum 100 having a plurality of raisedportions 102, which may represent the notes of the song, and a plurality ofmetal fingers 104, attached to thehousing 106 forming the disk shaped member, for contacting the raisedportions 102 and creating sound. The disk shapedmember 14 also preferably has a manual wind-up member 82 which may be connected to themotor 16 so as to actuate the motor when manually wound. Any suitable connection known in the art may be used to allow the wind-up member 82 to actuate themotor 16. Agearing arrangement 106 cooperates with themotor 16 to rotate thedrum 102 and thus causes the song to play. Thegearing arrangement 106 may be any suitable gearing arrangement known in the art. Theshaft 80 may be attached to thedrum 102 using any suitable means known in the art so that theshaft 80 rotates as thedrum 102 rotates. Attached to the end of theshaft 80 is thehook 70 which joins the disk shapedmember 14 to thesupport arm 12. As a result of the rotation of theshaft 80, the disk shapedmember 14 rotates, and thus thecentral support member 20 and thearms 22 rotate, relative to thesupport arm 12. - In one embodiment of the mobile of the present invention, the
FIG. 28 suspended from thearms 22 may be a stuffed animal representative of a sports team or school mascot such as a dog, an orange, a warrior, a ram, a panther, a cat, etc. The team or school mascot may be one associated with a particular university or college. Preferably, the stuffed animal is adorned with a garment or other indicia bearing one or more letters associated with the particular university or college. Thepennant 40 may also bear one or more letters associated with the particular university or college. Still further, theFIG. 28 and/or thepennants 40 may be colors associated with the particular university or college. The song played by themechanism 18 may be a song associated with the particular university or college such as a school fight song or a school alma mater. - In an alternative embodiment of the mobile of the present invention, the
FIG. 28 may be a mascot associated with a professional sports team or may be a replica of a player wearing a team uniform or other indicia associated with a particular sports team. The song played by themechanism 18 may be a song associated with the professional sports team or a song associated with the professional sport. If desired, thepennants 40 may be in colors associated with the professional sports team and may be adorned with a team logo or other indicia associated with the professional sports team. - In still another embodiment of the mobile of the present invention, as shown in
FIG. 8 , theFIG. 28 may be figures representative of a particular sport bearing indicia representative of the sport. Instead of eacharm 22 having aFIG. 28 suspended from it, one or more of thearms 22 may have anitem 30 identified with the sport suspended from one or more of thearms 22. For example, the sports relateditem 30 may be a baseball bat, a glove, a football, a hockey stick, a lacrosse stick, a basketball, a volleyball, etc. Thepennants 40 may have any desired color pattern. Here again, the song played by themechanism 18 may be any song associated with the particular sport. - In operation, the mobile 10 is mounted to a crib or a wall so that it is suspended above a desired location. For example, the mobile 10 may be suspended above a baby crib so that the figures are out of the reach of a baby within the crib, but in the baby's field of vision. When the
motor 16 is manually activated, thearms 22 of the mobile 10 and theFIG. 28 and/or sports relateditems 30 attached to thearms 22 rotate and the song begins to play. - It is apparent that there has been provided in accordance with the present invention a mascot mobile which fully satisfies the objects, means, and advantages set forth hereinbefore. While the present invention has been described in the context of specific embodiments thereof, other alternatives, modifications, and variations will become apparent to those skilled in the art having read the foregoing description. Accordingly, it is intended to embrace those alternatives, modifications, and variations as fall within the broad scope of the appended claims.
