the wheel 26 is mounted with reference to fig5 it can be seen that a passageway 42 is provided in the wheel through which the axle may pass referring back to fig2 a generally cylindrical stop member is mounted to the distal end of the upper wheel support rod 28 outwardly of the wheel 26 to frictionally retain the wheel in place construction of the wheel 26 will be explained in greater detail hereinafter a lower wheel support rod 34 is mounted to the lower support member 24 in the same general manner as the upper wheel support rod 28 likewise the position of the lower wheel support rod 34 may be altered in a manner described in relation to the upper wheel support rod 28 a second lower guide wheel 32 is mounted to the lower wheel support rod 34 using generally cylindrical stop members 36 to position and frictionally retain the wheel 32 on the lower wheel support rod 34 accordingly the above discussed construction provides two guide wheels 26 32 spaced a distance from each other in generally linear alignment as will be explained in greater detail hereinafter one of the features of the present invention that provides superior performance when feeding lycra u00ae or similar fibers is the wheel construction itself turning now to fig5 a wheel 26 is illustrated while fig5 illustrates one wheel which is referenced as an upper wheel 26 both wheels 26 32 are constructed in basically the same manner the features of the wheel 26 provide the strand guiding device 10 of the present invention with an enhanced ability to guide and direct the lycra u00ae fibers and reduces the buildup of lint at the wheel hub the wheel 26 is formed as a generally cylindrical member having a strand contact.
