Abstract
A wire mesh band or belt for a conveyor having downwardly extending protuberances for engaging peripheral grooves in rollers of a conveyor system to maintain the band in proper transverse position. The protuberances are formed on guide wires woven into the band at lateral and longitudinal intervals in the weft direction. The guide wires have at least one flattened surface so that they cannot rotate about their longitudinal axis. In a second embodiment, instead of continuous guide wires, a plurality of guide wire sections may be arranged at intervals transversely across the band.
