This invention is directed toward a base for a top object such as a vanity mirror or other small object with enhanced stability and rotational capabilities. The invention is also easy to manufacture, take apart and put back together, and repair as it has only one screw which holds the entire unit together. While designed for a vanity mirror, and number of other items can be mounted on the top of the invention due to its design which includes a threaded opening at its upper portion which can accommodate screw threads from an attached device.

I claim: 1. A device for attachment to, stabilization of, and rotation of a vanity mirror or other small device, comprising: A. a locking screw with a head, a shaft, and a threaded portion, B. a lower supporting plate, C. a plurality of bearings in a bearing tray, D. a ring, E. a ring spring, F. a
I claim: 1. A device for attachment to, stabilization of, and rotation of a vanity mirror or other small device, comprising: A. a locking screw with a head, a shaft, and a threaded portion, B. a lower supporting plate, C. a plurality of bearings in a bearing tray, D. a ring, E. a ring spring, F. a bearing location plate, G. a base weight, H. an upper shell, and I. a top ring with a lower end and an upper end, where, the lower supporting plate, the bearing tray, the ring, the ring spring, the bearing location plate, the base weight, and the upper shell all have a hole in their center which is of a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the threaded portion of the screw, thereby securing a snug fit between the shaft of the locking screw and the lower supporting plate, the bearing tray, the ring, the ring spring, the bearing location plate, the base weight, and the upper shell, where, the head of the locking screw is larger than the hole in the lower supporting plate such that the locking screw cannot pull through the lower supporting plate, and, where the lower supporting plate has built into the top of it a circular cavity such that the circular cavity is in the shape of a ring, with a flat circular bottom and a vertical side, and where the bearing tray fits and is secured into this circular cavity, and, where, the lower supporting plate is manufactured such that it has on its underside a cavity into which the head of the locking screw fits snugly, and where, the top ring has a threaded portion on its upper end which can receive a vanity mirror, jewelry stand, or other small object, and a lower end which is threaded such that it can receive the threaded portion of the locking screw, and, where, the locking screw threads into the top ring, sandwiching in between the individual components in the following order, starting from the head of the locking screw at the bottom of the device which rests on a table, dresser, or other flat surface, moving up toward the top ring: locking screw, lower supporting plate, bearing tray, bearings, ring, spring ring, bearing location plate, base weight, upper shell, top ring. 2. The device of claim 1, where, the base weight is a roughly conical unit with a small top portion which rests on top of the bearing location plate and larger, wider, and substantially heavier portion which descends downward and outward from the small top portion, with the thickest and therefore heaviest portion hanging at a level nearly touching the lower supporting plate such that the center of gravity of the device is substantially lower than it would be had the base weight been merely a solid, flat block extending only horizontally above the bearing location plate. 3. The device of claim 2, where, the distance between the bottom of the base weight and the top of the lower supporting plate is between 1 and 10 millimeters. 4. The device of claim 2, where, the distance between the bottom of the base weight and the top of the lower supporting plate is between 1 and 3 millimeters. 5. The device of claim 2, where, the bottom portion of the top ring is square and the hole in the upper shell is also square, thereby preventing rotation of the device by means other than movement of the bearings, such that the invention cannot rotate about the threads attaching the locking screw to the top ring, thereby loosening the top ring and allowing a top object such as a vanity mirror or other object attached to the upper end of the top ring, allowing the top object to fall off the device.
