ABSTRACT:
An oscillating, modular turntable for displaying objects includes a base formed from a ring-like lower track having a generally circular upwardly facing lower track surface formed thereon, a hub assembly and a plurality of spokes extending between the lower track and the hub assembly and releasably attached thereto by a plurality of toggle clamps. The turntable also includes a lower table having a plurality of support wheels resting on the lower track surface and a generally circular upwardly facing upper track surface formed thereon extending in a plane tilted at a predetermined angle relative to a plane in which the base extends and an upper table having a plurality of support wheels resting on the upper track surface. Both tables include a center section having a pair of generally straight sides and a pair of generally semicircular end sections releasably attached to a corresponding one of the straight sides by toggle clamps. A first drive attached to the lower table and engaging the lower track surface rotates the lower table in a selected first direction of rotation at a selected first speed of rotation and a second drive attached to the upper table and engaging the upper track surface rotates the upper table in a selected second direction of rotation at a selected second speed of rotation.
