Turntable device

wherein a turntable device for supporting items including any one audio units, video units, floodlights, flower pots, and showpieces, the device comprising:

• a base plate, for supporting the turntable on a base, the base plate having a circular bearing race extending at a top side near an outer periphery of the base plate;
• a first concentric bearing ring mounted on the bearing race of the base plate;
• and
• a turntable, mounted coaxially upon the base plate for rotation about a common center axis, the turntable having a circular bearing race extending at an under side near an outer periphery of the turntable;
• wherein a second bearing race is provided on the base plate and the turntable, a second bearing ring being provided between the respective second bearing races of the base plate and turntable;
• wherein catches are provided on one of the turntable and base plate, with the catches projecting axially through a corresponding opening in the other of the turntable and base plate, the catches preventing mutual lateral shifting of the parts;
• wherein the catches are located on an outer periphery of an outer race of one of the turntable and base plate;
• and
• wherein the catches are elastic latching elements which axially engage, from behind counterelements in the form of an encircling strip formed on the other of the turntable and base plate.
