ABSTRACT:
A rotating apparatus for rotating an object utilizes a worm gear in which worm wheel torque supplied from a rotation table can be transferred to a worm gear. In this way the invention avoids a conventional disengaging mechanism that disengages the rotating apparatus when torque is supplied from the rotation table. Further, spring members and stoppers physically define a first and second rotation ranges and a split cam shuts off a drive motor within the first rotation range. Still further, an anti-backlash member is provided on the worm gearing. To prevent pinched fingers and dust accumulation, a skirt is preferably provided on the bottom, front edge of the object being rotated which closes a gap between the object and a support surface when the object is placed on the rotating apparatus.
