Patent ID: 8052101

Claim:
A rotating table for a display device comprising: a first table portion; a horizontal shaft arranged in a rising portion of said first table portion; a rotating member arranged so as to be rotatable around said horizontal shaft, and in which a display device is arranged; a balancing device balancing with a gravity moment around said horizontal shaft in said display device; and a first motor-driven rotating mechanism rotating said rotating member around said horizontal shaft, wherein said first motor-driven rotating mechanism includes: a gear train converting a rotation of an electric motor into a rotation of said rotating member, the gear train including a first gear rotating while working with the rotation of said electric motor; and a second gear arranged in an identical rotating shaft as said first gear and rotating while working with the rotation of said rotating member; and a rotation allowing device allowing a rotation of said gear train with respect to a rotation having a torque not less than a predetermined torque from said rotating member side, wherein said rotation allowing device is configured by a slip mechanism fixing said second gear to said first gear with respect to a rotation having a torque less than a predetermined torque from said rotating member side, and making said second gear idle run against said first gear with respect to a rotation having a torque not less than the predetermined torque from said rotating member side.
