| Abstract: |
A rotating musical serving plate (10) with a serving plate (12) removably attached thereto. A support (14) has a base (14A) which is securely attached to a lower distal end of a pedestal (14B). The upper distal end of the pedestal (14B) is securely attached to a bearing ring (14C) having a plurality of bearing retainers (14CA) functioning to rotatably restrain a plurality of bearings (14CB). A drive (16) has plurality of mounting lugs (16AA) securely attached around an outside lower distal portion of a perimeter of a drive housing (16A). The drive (16) is securely attached to the base (14A) by a plurality of mounting lugs (16AA) by a fastener. An upper distal end of the drive housing (16A) is securely attached to a drive cover (16B). The drive cover (16B) at a central portion is securely attached to a drive spindle bearing (16D). The serving plate spindle socket (12AA) cooperates with a drive fluted adapter (16E) to securely removably attach the serving plate spindle socket (12AA) thereto. An audio device (18) has the case (18A) which is securely attached to the base (14A) by a fastener. The case (18A) has an ON/OFF switch (18B) which function to control the audio device (18). The case (18A) further has a speaker (18C) which functions to transmit acoustical energy, the audio device (18) functions to emit speech, music and other sounds appropriate to the product displayed on the serving plate (12).

What is claimed is:
1. A rotating musical serving plate (10) comprising:
- A) a serving plate (12) comprises a top (12A), the top (12A) comprises a serving plate bearing base (12AB) which is securely attached at a serving plate (12) lower side, a serving plate spindle socket (12AA) is securely attached centrally to the underside of the serving plate (12);
- B) a support (14) comprises a base (14A) which is securely attached to a lower distal end of a pedestal (14B), the upper distal end of the pedestal (14B) is securely attached to a bearing ring (14C), the bearing ring (14C) comprises a plurality of bearing retainers (14CA) functioning to rotatably restrain a plurality of bearings (14CB), the plurality of bearings (14CB) are in rollable contact with the serving plate bearing base (12AB), the serving plate bearing base (12AB) functions as a surface for the plurality of bearings (14CB);
- C) a drive means (16) comprises plurality of mounting lugs (16AA) securely attached around an outside lower distal portion of a perimeter of a drive means housing (16A), the drive means (16) is securely attached to the base (14A) at plurality of mounting lugs (16AA) by a fastening means, an upper distal end of the drive means housing (16A) is securely attached to a drive means cover (16B), the drive means cover (16B) at a central portion is securely attached to a drive means spindle bearing (16D) functioning to rotatably restrain a drive means spindle (16C), the drive means spindle (16C) at one distal end functions to securely and removably engage the serving plate spindle socket (12AA) with a drive means fluted adapter (16E), the drive means spindle (16C) is connected at the opposite distal end to the drive means (16), the drive means spindle (16C) transmits rotational energy from the drive means (16) to the serving plate (12), the serving plate spindle socket (12AA) cooperates with the drive means fluted adapter (16E) to securely removably attach the serving plate spindle socket (12AA) thereto, the drive means (16) functions to rotate the serving plate (12);
- D) an audio device (18) comprises a case (18A) which is securely attached to the base (14A) by a second fastening means, the case (18A) comprises an ON/OFF switch (18B) which function to control the audio device (18), the case (18A) further comprises a speaker (18C) which functions to transmit acoustical energy, the audio device (18) functions to emit speech, music and sounds appropriate to the product displayed on the serving plate (12); and
- E) a power means (20) comprises a battery holder (20A) which constrains a plurality of batteries (20AA), the power means (20) functions to provide electricity to the drive means (16) and audio device (18) by a plurality of power leads (20AB) and audio device power leads (20C), when a user activates the ON/OFF switch (20B) electricity is sent to the audio device (18) and the drive means (16) which activates sound and rotation.
