Abstract
A rotary server, eg a device for distributing comestibles or other material or goods, has a large top serving area which, adjusting the arms 12, can be used for another purpose when not required as a server. The top area is changed by moving the non-fixed arms 12 into a new upright position, the action of resetting the position of the outer arms 12 into the upright position changes the top assembly 11 and arms 12 into a container and display unit. The device has a base 15 and rotates on ball bearings 14. <IMAGE>

Figure 1 Shows in section the relationship of the component parts of the convertable server unit.
Figure 2 Shows a plan view of the top working or serving area.
Figure 3 Shows in section the movement of the arms to convert the server and change the usage.
Figure 4 Illustrates the relative form when the arms are repositioned with respect to the section shown in
Figure 1.
Refering to figure 1 the sectional drawing the convertable rotary server comprises a top centre assembly 11 arms 12 fashioned to extend the centre assembly and secured to the centre assembly by means of a piviot 13 (not illustrated) a bearing section 14 and a base assembly 15.
A plan view figure 2 illustrates the typical working or serving surface when in the serving or displaying position.
In order to convert the use of the rotary server the arms 12 are moved up or down as illustrated in Figure 3.
The arms in the up position are illustrated in figure 4 in this position the use is changed from that illustrated in figure 2 and can be for storage or in an ornamental roll.
