ABSTRACT:
An automatically operated turntable is designed to reverse the direction of a vehicle parked in a driveway. The turntable is pivotally mounted on a rotatable shaft, and a small gear driven motor is utilized to rotate the turntable. Inasmuch as the front of an automobile is heavier than the rear end, when the vehicle is parked forwardly on the turntable, a weight sensitive switch activates the motor to effect a rotation of the turntable. When the vehicle has rotated 180 degrees, the opposite tilting of the table deactivates the weight sensitive switch so as to disable the motor drive.
