Abstract
A platter apparatus with improved braking control includes a support base where a platter is rotatably secured to the support base with a circular wall downwardly depending from the platter. An arm, which is slidably connected to the base is linearly actuatable between a first position and a second position. A brake pad is connected to an end of the arm and is in removable and adjustable frictional engagement with the circular wall to provide an amount of braking of rotation of the platter relative to the support base depending on the linear position of the arm. The brake pad is connected to the arm by a compression spring and limited by a torsion spring to enable a zero friction braking-free position.
