Abstract
A roller for a window or door slidably mounted on a track is disclosed. The roller comprises a housing having first and second opposing walls and a shelf having a convex outer surface and extending between the first and second walls. A belt encircles the shelf. The belt has an inner surface having a low coefficient of friction for sliding engagement with the convex surface of the shelf. The belt further has an outer surface having a high coefficient of friction adapted for non-sliding engagement with the track.
