Abstract
There is disclosed a novel groove roller and roller assembly comprised of two of such grooved rollers wherein the grooved roller is comprised of a plurality of discs having varying diameters and positioned on a shaft thereby forming a grooved roller of self-centering groove components. In a preferred embodiment, discs of one diameter and discs of another diameter are alternately mounted on the shaft. Also disclosed is a roller assembly formed of two of such grooved rollers in interdigitating or intermeshing relationship for laterally stretching incremental portions of an orientable thermoplastic substrate by introducing such substrate into a nip formed by such interdigitating grooved rollers whereby the velocity of introduction thereof is controlled to substantially the rotational velocity of such grooved rollers.
