Patent number: 5215357
Abstract: The regulator supply valve (100, 101, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 740) of the present invention provides regulated fluid pressure for adaptive braking and traction control systems (10, 710) operation. The regulator supply valve (100, 101, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600) and system (10) may be supplied as an add-on feature for a standard braking system. During adaptive braking system operation, pressure from a chamber (28, 30; 718, 716) of a master cylinder (12, 712) causes the regulator supply valve (100, 101, 200, 300, 400, 740) to communicate a pressure source (35, 720) with modulators 41, 42; 51, 52; 61, 62, 71; 746, 748, 752; 746', 748', 752') for respective wheel brakes (40, 50, 60, 70; 750, 760).
