Abstract
A roller comprising wheels to enable bi-direction movement of packages and a conveyor incorporating the same. The roller has an axis of rotation extending along a length of the roller. The roller includes the wheels disposed at positions along the length of the roller. Axes of rotation of the wheels of the roller are perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the roller. In various embodiments, adjacent wheels along the length of the roller can be circumferentially offset relative to each other.
