主权项

1. A turntable comprising:
a hub defining a first rotation axis; a base including a plurality of rolling supports that each rotate about one of a plurality of axes of rotation perpendicular to said first rotation axis, said base including a plurality of base sections; a rotating member secured to said hub such that a center of said rotating member aligns with the first rotation axis, said rotating member including a plurality of sections; a first one of said plurality of base sections disposed radially around said hub and including a first set of the plurality of rolling supports; a first one of said plurality of sections is coupled to the hub that defines a center of said rotating member, said first one of said plurality of sections supported by the first set of the plurality of rolling supports and defining a first radius; a second one of said plurality of base sections removably secured radially outwards of said first base section and including a second set of the plurality of rolling supports; and a second section removably secured around said first section and supported at least in part by said second set of the plurality of rollers to define a second radius greater than the first radius.
