Abstract
A pulley plate for use with an opposing pulley plate wherein the plates are configured so as to receive a belt therebetween. The pulley plate includes an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface is opposite the outer surface and is adapted for facing the opposing pulley plate. A belt-wiping surface obliquely extends from the inner surface and is located so as to engage the belt. The belt-wiping surface wipes the edges of the belt to increase the friction between the pulley plate and belt and so increase the efficiency of the pulley.
