Patent ID: 7631602

Claim:
A low profile turntable device comprising: a. a turntable comprised of a plurality of sections, each section being constructed of a wedge shaped top and bottom skin with a layer of structural foam in between; b. each wedge shaped section joined to a neighboring wedge shaped section so as to form a circle; c. the circle of wedge shaped sections joined at their narrow ends by a connector means to form a central rotational axis point; d. the central rotational axis point supported by a bearing means to allow the circle of wedge shaped sections to rotate in either direction around the rotational axis point; e. each bottom skin riding on a plurality of support wheels installed within it; f. suspension springs attached to the wheels, g. a continuous ramp around the exterior of the turntable comprised of individual ramp sections; h. a plurality of reversible drive units located inside one or more of the individual ramp sections around the exterior of the turntable to rotate the turntable continuously in either direction i. each drive unit turning a drive roller in direct contact with the exterior circumference of the turn table; j. an electrical switching control means to start, stop and reverse the drive mechanism; k. a source of power means to operate the reversible drive mechanism, l. there are a plurality of concentric circular bands underneath the turntable bottom skin; m. each of said concentric circular bands being connected to one or more neighboring concentric circular bands by perpendicular lateral bands which intersect at a central axis point; n. a lower center hub assembly anchored to the central axis point of the perpendicular lateral bands; o. an upper outer center bearing hub at the rotational axis point of the narrow ends of the wedge shaped sections; p. the upper outer center bearing hub affixed by a bearing means so as to rotate on top of the lower center hub assembly.
