Abstract

An ornamental carousel assembly is disclosed which simulates a full-size carousel in that various figurines are supported upon a revolving platform below a canopy. The canopy is formed from a flexible material and is supported on the rotatable platform by a canopy support assembly. The canopy support assembly is composed of a plurality of interconnected ring elements and is attached to the platform by various support rods which are spaced about the periphery of the platform. Since the canopy is made from a flexible material and the canopy support assembly may be disassembled into its individual links, the carousel can be shipped and stored in a relatively small container.
