The present invention relates to a carousel for people, especially children, with a substructure that is stationary relative to the ground and that has a stator axle essentially perpendicular to the ground and a radial support star essentially parallel to the ground, and with a rotor being rotatable about the stator axle and having a turning section for carrying people. To create a carousel of this type that is easy to operate and versatile and that affords adequate safety even when used improperly, the invention proposes that the radial support star should be located on a profiled ground plate in recesses thereof that essentially conform to the shape of the radial support star, and that the radial support star or ground plate has provided thereon a central centering shoulder aligned to engage in a central receiving portion provided on the respectively other member.
A carousel for people, especially children, comprising a substructure which is stationary relative to a ground and which has a stator axle essentially perpendicular to said ground and a radial support star essentially parallel to said ground, and a rotor being rotatable about said stator axle and having a turning section for carrying people, wherein said radial support star is located on a profiled ground plate in recesses thereof that essentially conform to the shape of said radial support star.
