ABSTRACT:
A wheel assembly, system and method utilizing said wheel assembly are disclosed for directing filaments, strands and the like in such a manner that minimizes the wraparound of such on the wheel assembly. The wheel includes a rotatable, generally disc shaped hub having walls for supporting a plurality of rods about the hub's peripheral edge. The rods are secured to the walls of the hub such that each rod traverses the peripheral edge. The rods are also spaced from one another and arranged so as to define an annular gathering or traveling path upon which said filaments, strands and the like are directed as the wheel rotates. The spacing between the rods is such that the gathering or traveling path is at least 50% discontinuous.
