Detachable musical base for baby bottle

A removable attachment for a baby feeding bottle having a bottom and upright side surfaces comprising:

• a seat for receiving said bottom of said baby feeding bottle,
• a music producing device located within said seat,
• a releaseable clamp mechanism on said seat for exerting compressive forces from opposing directions, against said side surfaces of said baby feeding bottle and in the alternative releasing said side surfaces of said baby feeding bottle;
• and
• wherein said seat has an axial center and said releaseable clamp mechanism includes two pairs of opposing jaws, wherein said jaws within each pair face each other and are mounted upon opposing sides of said axial center of said seat from each other, and said pairs of jaws are oriented at right angles relative to each other, and further comprising a retraction system for concurrently moving all of said jaws toward said axial center of said seat and an extension system for concurrently pushing said jaws away from said axial center of said seat.

A detachable baby bottle accessory comprising:

• a base for supporting a baby bottle from beneath upon a flat surface,
• a music player located within said base,
• at least one pair of opposing jaws located atop said base for receiving said baby bottle therebetween,
• a jaw adjustment mechanism for moving at least one of said jaws to clamp said baby bottle between said jaws and alternatively release said baby bottle from between said jaws;
• and further comprising two pairs of said jaws, and said jaws are all mounted upon support arms having side edges formed as toothed racks, wherein said toothed racks on said support arms in each pair of said jaws reside in mutually coplanar relationship facing each other, and said support arms for one of said pairs of jaws reside in a first support arm plane parallel to and longitudinally displaced from a second support arm plane in which said support arms for the other of said pairs of jaws reside and further comprising a pinion extending longitudinally between said first and second support arm planes and mounted for rotation in said base about a pinion axis of rotation perpendicular to both said support arm planes and passing through the center of said base, and said pinion has pinion teeth engaged with all of said toothed racks.

A detachable music box for a baby bottle comprising:

• a body structure having a base for resting upon a horizontal surface to support said baby bottle thereon in a stable manner,
• a musical sound player housed within said body structure, and a bottle seat located at the top of said base and including a bottle clamp for gripping said bottle to thereby releasably secure said body structure to said baby bottle, and to alternatively release said body structure from said baby bottle, and wherein said bottle clamp is comprised of four clamping members, each formed with a jaw supported upon a clamp arm having an edge with a plurality of teeth formed thereon, and said clamping members are arranged in pairs with said jaws in each pair residing in opposition to each other and with said plurality of teeth on said clamp arms in each pair mutually parallel and in facing relationship relative to each other, whereby each of said clamp arms defines a linear toothed rack and further comprising guide slots in said body structure, wherein each of said jaws is mounted upon one of said transversely extending clamp arms and said clamp arms in each pair are disposed in mutual parallel alignment with each other and move in said guide slots formed in said body structure, and said pairs of clamping members are oriented at right angles relative to each other, and further comprising a single pinion mounted to said body structure for rotation relative thereto and engaged with all of said toothed racks and rotatable in a first direction to concurrently draw all of said jaws toward each other and alternatively rotatable in an opposite, second direction to concurrently push all of said jaws apart from each other.
