Abstract
A low torque apparatus for tilting platforms. A leg attached to the platform protrudes from the bottom of the platform to a motor shaft which penetrates one of two vertical sides which form a box-like support structure for the platform. The platform pivots on supports which slide in horizontal slots near the top of each vertical side. The motor is mounted so that it slides in near vertical slots in the vertical sides of the support box to maintain the fixed distance between the motor shaft and the tilting platform.
