  • Patent number: 5086704
    Abstract: An improved motor vehicle turntable is provided that may be installed in any location, typically in front of a garage for the purpose of rotating a vehicle so as to enable it to leave the area in the opposite direction from which it entered the garage. The motor vehicle turntable has a circular vehicle receiving platform supported by a polygonal support frame. The receiving platform and support frame are received within a cylindrical pit so that the upper surface of the platform is level with the surrounding terrain into which the pit is formed. A chain drive frictionally engages the perimeter of the polygonal support frame to rotate the receiving platform when the chain is moved by means of a drive motor and sprocket arrangement.
