    Abstract: In the particular embodiments disclosed in the specification, a cage for a roller brake freewheel consists of two annular sidewall members which are connected with each other by connecting webs extending transversely between them so as to form chambers distributed over the circumference of the cage to accommodate corresponding brake rollers and springs. The annular side wall members are made in one piece and include resilient segments which facilitate elastic yielding. The resilient segments are in the form of connecting elements and the number of resilient segments is the same as the number of chambers.
