A first locking mechanism is configured to block rotating the first and second holders by locking an operation component or by locking the first and second holders when the cap is not mounted on one of the first and second holders, and is configured to unlock rotating the first and second holders by being engaged with the cap when the cap is mounted on one of the first and second holders and when the cap is arranged to face upwardly towards a upper side. A second locking mechanism is configured to block rotating the first and second holders by locking the operation component or by locking the first and second holders when the cap is mounted on one of the first and second holders and when the cap is arranged to face downwardly to a lower side opposite to the upper side.

In accordance with the principals of the present invention, a desk or executive curio is provided. A rotor assembly includes a rotor and a shaft. A housing assembly defines inner pivoted supports that allow rotation of the rotor about an inner pivotal axis. The housing assembly further defines outer pivoted supports that allow rotation of the housing about an outer pivotal axis perpendicular to the inner pivotal axis of the rotor assembly. Bearings allow the rotor assembly and the housing assembly to be held in an axis perpendicular to a rotor axis. The rotor assembly and the housing assembly are removably connectable to a base along the inner pivotal axis, the base having an offset center of gravity and defining a curved outer surface.
