Abstract

The objective of the present invention is to provide a swivel chassis in which the angle of the mounted device can be freely varied vertically and horizontally and in which a sufficient level of holding strength is assured so that the desired angle is not subject to change with vibration and the weight of the mounted device. To achieve this objective, the swivel chassis main unit comprises a base and a hemispherical raised portion with spherical surfaces formed on the inside and outside, and an inclination restricting hole formed at its center.
