An infant mobile or other toy has a main housing which is attached to a crib, travel bed, changing table or other article of infant's furniture. For use with a furniture piece such as a crib with slatted sides, a screw on a pressure knob is threaded into the housing to clamp the slats are clamped between the pressure knob and a vertical clamping surface on the housing. For other furniture items such as travel beds and changing tables which have configurations unsuitable for use with such a pressure knob, a clamping assembly is used. The clamping assembly has a base which is removably attached to the housing, a bracket mounted on the base, and a screw threaded to an arm of the bracket. By rotating the screw, a part of the furniture piece can be clamped between a pressure pad on the screw and a vertical clamping surface on the base. To position the mobile over an infant when the base is attached at or near a corner of the furniture piece, the base is wedge shaped. The vertical clamping surface of the removable base is at an acute horizontal angle to the vertical clamping surface of the main housing, thus skewing the main housing. The inclination of the bracket arm can be changed and locked to provide lateral adjustments in the position of the pressure pad. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION As stated above, this invention provides a toy assembly which is mountable on many different infant furniture pieces such as cribs, travel beds, changing tables, etc.
In one respect, a toy assembly according to the invention includes a housing, a toy (preferably an infant's mobile) attached to and supported by the housing, and a clamping assembly which has a base which is removably mountable on the housing.
A mechanism (preferably a screw) is mounted on the base.
A pressure pad is operatively connected to and moved by the mechanism to a position where it frictionally engages part of an infant furniture piece to clamp the clamping assembly and its attached housing to the furniture piece.
The toy assembly also has a known type of pressure knob which is mountable on the housing in lieu of the clamping assembly.
The pressure knob has a pressure surface which faces toward a vertical first clamping surface of the housing.
A threaded shaft removably connects the pressure knob to the housing.
The threaded shaft extends between the slats of an infant furniture piece, and the pressure surface of the pressure knob bears against the slats to retain the housing in position.
Preferably, the toy is a mobile provided with figures which are observable by an infant lying on a crib, travel bed, changing table or other infant furniture piece.
The mechanism is a screw which is rotatable to move the pressure pad.
The clamping assembly has a second clamping surface which is vertical.
The pressure pad faces toward a clamping surface on the base of the clamping assembly.
Thus, part of an infant furniture piece can be clamped between the pressure pad and the clamping surface on the base of the clamping assembly.
The clamping surface on the housing is at an acute horizontal angle relative to the second clamping surface on the base, so that the figures of the mobile will be over the area where the infant is lying.
The screw mechanism is preferably mounted on a bracket which includes a post which has one or two flat surface for engaging one or two straight surface of the infant furniture piece
