ABSTRACT:
An improved turntable is provided for use in a building, such as in a residential or office environment, wherein the turntable is constructed from an assembly of modular components for facilitated installation within a relatively low profile space. The turntable comprises a plurality of modular, generally pie-shaped panel units of a lightweight skeletal frame construction. The panel units are joined along radial lines of separation by a plurality of wheel units each including a wheel bracket connected to the adjacent pair of panel units, and a pair of elevationally adjustable wheels for shared distribution of loads applied to the panel units. The wheels may in turn be positioned to ride upon an elevationally adjustable track. A traction drive surface is formed on the periphery of the assembled turntable in a position engaged by a drive roller of a low profile drive unit. The assembled panel units may be adapted for installation in an annular array disposed about a building column, and/or for assembly in concentric rings to define a turntable with extended surface area.
