Rotating floor for motor vehicles

摘要

A rotating floor is provided for rotating a motor vehicle so that the motor vehicle attains a new heading. The rotating floor includes a platform supporting the motor vehicle. The platform is supported above-ground by a plurality of wheels oriented in concentric circles which run along races oriented in concentric circles. A motor is provided with an output shaft coaxial with a rotational center point of the platform. The motor is connected to the platform in a direct drive relationship. A chamber is oriented beneath the platform and housing the motor. The chamber can be accessed through a manhole in the platform and is sized sufficiently to allow a person to enter therein for maintenance to the motor. A tunnel is provided extending from the chamber which provides a person with access to a bottom of the platform. Lights are provided on a top of the platform and sensors are provided adjacent the platform which assist a user in positioning the motor vehicle upon the platform for safe rotation of the motor vehicle. A weighing system is incorporated into the races to measure a weight of the motor vehicle upon the platform.
