ABSTRACT:
An ornamental display assembly is disclosed wherein ornamental objects, are reciprocated in a generally vertical path relative to a stationary base. A wind-up music box, which supplies music to entertain the user as the ornamental objects undergo their reciprocating motion, also provides the sole power source to cause such movement. A music box mechanism includes a rotating drum provided with a rotating output shaft. A crank mechanism having an eccentric cam member is attached to the output shaft such that it rotates with the music box drum. The eccentric cam engages a follower member such that the follower member undergoes reciprocating movement as the drum rotates. A rocker arm, pivotally supported on a base member, is caused to oscillate about its pivot axis by the motion of the follower member. A second follower member is operatively associated with the opposite end of the rocker arm on the opposite side of the pivot axis from the first follower member. Thus, as the first follower member reciprocates, the rocker arm causes the second follower member to also reciprocate, but in the opposite direction.
