Abstract
A phonograph turntable slip mat (200) includes a circular surface (201) extending around the perimeter of the mat for supporting a phonograph record. A recessed section (203) is located within the circular surface and extends below the circular surface (203) for contacting the surface of a turntable platter (204). The invention exhibits less friction and surface resistance when in contact with the turntable platter (204), providing superior performance when compared with conventional slip mats.
Claims14
A phonograph turntable slip mat comprising:
- a first circular surface extending around the perimeter of the mat for supporting a phonograph record;
- a recessed section positioned below the circular surface;
- and wherein the recessed section comprises a cylindrical surface and a second circular surface;
- and wherein the second circular surface contacts a surface of a turntable platter for allowing the first circular surface and phonograph record to be manually slipped along the surface of the turntable platter.
A turntable slip mat for use with a phonograph turntable comprising;
- a flat surface for supporting the surface of a phonograph record;
- a recessed section positioned substantially under a center portion of the flat surface;
- and
- wherein the recessed section is used to contact the top surface of a phonograph platter for allowing the flat surface and phonograph record to be manually slipped along the top surface of the turntable platter while the turntable platter is in motion.
A turntable slip mat for use with a phonograph turntable comprising:
- a substantially flat substrate for supporting the surface of a phonograph record;
- an illumination device positioned within a side edge of the substrate;
- a recessed section positioned substantially under a center portion of the flat substrate;
- and
- wherein the recessed section is used to contact the top surface of a phonograph platter for allowing the substrate and phonograph record to be manually slipped along the top surface of the turntable platter while the turntable platter is in motion.
