Abstract
A rotatable member, for use with an elongated woven-wire belt assembled from spiral wires and connector rods which define recesses, of preselected uniform cross-sectional configurational and dimensional characteristics and having a preselected depth dimension for confronting a rotatable member. The rotatable member includes a hollow tubular member defining an outer cylindrical surface symmetrically disposed in relation to a central axis of rotation for the rotatable member, a plurality of rows of uniformly radially-oriented protrusions on the cylindrical surface for use in engaging recesses presented by interwoven spiral wires and connector rods of a woven-wire belt, and a plurality of slotted opening formed between the adjacent rows of protrusions.
