ABSTRACT:
A watertight revolving device for rotating an ornamental object within a water globe that includes a base and a glass dome. The ornamental object has a vertical shaft extending down through a sealing gasket, through a rubber plug, and bent into a notch in a first coupling member. The first coupling member has holes for receiving upright bars of a second coupling member to fit therein. The first coupling member is attached to the rotatable ornamental object, and the second coupling member is attached to a revolving musical movement. The rubber plug has its annular wall provided with an annular projection, or rib, to engage the inner surface of a glass dome projection. The sealing gasket and rubber plug ensure a secure structure for preventing water from leaking out of the glass dome. One or more annular hard plastic members may be provided to reduce rotational sliding friction between the revolving and stationary components.
