Abstract
A cleaning brush for a power-driven pool cleaner having a rotatable shaft incorporates a flexible web having first and second opposing edges, the first edge having at least one first element extending in the direction of the first edge, and the second edge having at least one second element extending in the direction of the second edge. The web is deformable about the rotatable shaft to bring the first and second edges into contact, with the first element being in spaced relation to the second element such that the first element is aligned with the second element. Additionally, a positive locking structure is provided to hold the first and second elements together in a secure, locking fit. Preferably, there are a plurality of elements on the first and second edges, with each element having an opening therethrough in the direction of or parallel to the respective edge, so that when the edges are in contact the openings are aligned to form a continuous open path, and the locking structure is a locking pin that is passed through the open path.
