[origin: EP0705786A2] A web conveying roller (18) is provided with circumferentially or spirally extending grooves (42) and lands (44), the lands having convex curvatures (46, 48; 54) to cause a conveyed, ultrathin web (30), at the beginning of a wrap angle ( alpha ) onto the roller, to undulate along the width of the roller over the lands and into the grooves while remaining spaced from the convex curvatures of the lands; so that, air entrained between the web and the lands can flow into the grooves. <IMAGE>
