PCT No. PCT/SE93/00010 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 15, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 15, 1994 PCT Filed Jan. 11, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO93/14672 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 5, 1993A roller brush and method of making same for sweeping machines for cleaning streets and roads. The brush includes cassettes arranged in brackets around the periphery of a roller and extending in the longitudinal direction of the roller. The cassettes receive spring members, such as radially projecting bristles, the ends of which are brought in contact with ground when the brush is used for cleaning. The cassettes are received in grooves in the brackets. The spring members are bent double around a locking wire which acts to hold the members in the cassettes and which passes through holes in connecting cross walls extending from facing long sides of the cassettes. The connecting cross walls are provided at spaced locations along the cassette thereby defining cells on the cassette. The spaced connecting cross walls act to increase the rigidity of the cassette.
