Benefits of technology

The addition of nylon legs to a Lazy Susan makes it a new and improved product that can be used with microwave ovens. This change allows the microwave to be much more user-friendly and functional. This difference between the two may be significant.

Problems solved by technology

However, the design of Lazy Susan apparently did not anticipate its use for large objects, such as a regular microwave oven, placed on a kitchen counter and with its door to be opened widely and repeatedly through its course of a routine operation.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]A conventional turntable, also known as Lazy Susan, consists of two round plates which are connected together, but are otherwise free to rotate relative to each other. The bottom plate usually stays stationary on the supporting surface on which it is placed, thus allowing the upper plate to rotate freely relative to the supporting surface. For convenience, commercially available Lazy Susan is generally fabricated to allow plates of various sizes and shapes to be attached to either of its upper or lower plates.

[0021]Moby Susan is composed of three basic components: A conventional turntable commonly referred to as Lazy Susan, four small nylon legs attached in a symmetrical pattern to the bottom plate of the turntable (FIG. 1), and a rectangular plate of appropriate dimensions attached, with screws, to the upper plate of the Lazy Susan (FIG. 2). One concludes, and correctly so, from these descriptions that the only difference between Moby Susan and Lazy Susan lies in the addition...

Abstract

Four nylon legs were added to old Lazy Susan to allow much improved functionality of the device. Work to date demonstrates that the addition of a set of four nylon legs represents a major departure from, and adds a new dimension to, the age-old Lazy Susan. As such, this seemingly small difference between Lazy Susan and my Moby Susan may prove to be very substantial and significant. Incorporation of Moby Susan as a built-in feature in the design of future microwave ovens is suggested.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This Non-provisional Patent Application corresponds to the following Provisional Patent Application:[0002]PPA 61 / 572,660 filed Jul. 19, 2011STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENTS[0003]Not ApplicableREFERENCE TO SEQUENCE LISTING, A TABLE, OR A COMPUTER PROGRAM LISTING COMPACT DISK APPENDIX[0004]Not ApplicableBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0005]Lazy Susan generally refers to a type of turntable, or turning platform, invented ages ago to turn about a fixed vertical line passing through the center of the turntable. For years, it has been found very useful for reaching an object placed on any side of this turning platform from another position somewhere a small distance away from the turntable, such as from a seating chair around a large dining table, from either side of a kitchen counter, or in front of a kitchen cabinet. However, the design of Lazy Susan apparently did not anticipate its use for large objects, such as ...
