ABSTRACT:
A toy mobile is disclosed having an improved mounting mechanism in which the mobile freely hangs vertically without requiring a mounting arm of the mounting mechanism to be positioned in a specific orientation. The toy mobile further has a spring connector to allow vertical movement of the mobile relative to the mounting mechanism, and stop surfaces on the mobile to limit the vertical movement to a finite distance. To allow rotatable movement of the mobile, the spring is coupled to the mobile by a string secured to a bead and chain connector. The bead and chain connector functions as a slip clutch to prevent the string from overwinding and breaking.
