Patent number: 6931979Abstract: A reaction device wherein a ratio of input force to output force for a brake booster is sequentially changed during a brake application. An actuation force derived from a pressure differential acts on a movable wall and is communicated through a cage as an output force to an push rod. The output force is a functional ratio of the input force as modified by a reaction disc and elastic means during a brake application. The reaction device functions as a rigid member until the input force reaches a first predetermined level Fd and a first boost ratio is in effect until a second predetermined force Fe is reached and a second boost ratio is in effect until a third predetermined input force level Ff is reached and a third boost ratio is in effect until a fourth predetermined fource level is reached.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2002Date of Patent: August 23, 2005Assignee: Robert Basach GmbHInventors: Juan Simon Bacardit, Bruno Berthomieu, Fernando Sacristan

Patent number: 6904753Abstract: A servobrake (10) including a pneumatic brake booster (12) and a master cylinder (22) with a main piston (20) that slides in a front pressure chamber (24). The main piston (20) has a fixed first rear end (46) acted on by a pneumatic piston (16) of the booster (12) and a moving second rear end (48) acted on by a feeler (18) of the booster (12) that is a coaxial with the piston (16) and acts upon a reaction ram (52) to communicate pressure forces in a front pressure chamber (24) of the master cylinder to the second end (48). A hydraulic isolation valve shutter (58), independent of the internal piston (50) of the ram (52), is activated when the input force of the booster (12) exceeds a given rate threshold so that the braking force is not reduced.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2003Date of Patent: June 14, 2005Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Juan Simon Bacardit, Bruno Berthomieu, Fernando Sacristan
