  • Patent number: 8117838
    Abstract: The invention relates to a master brake cylinder arrangement of a motor vehicle brake system with a master brake cylinder housing, a transmission piston disposed in a displaceable manner in the master brake cylinder housing, and a force input member which can be workingly coupled to the transmission piston in order to introduce a braking force. According to the invention, in order to simplify assembly and to reduce the required construction space, an adapter is coupled to the master brake cylinder housing, to which adapter a contact sleeve is fitted, the force input member being supported at the contact sleeve in a non-actuated starting position.

  • Publication number: 20100269684
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a vacuum brake booster for a motor vehicle brake system, having a force input element that is connectable or connected to a brake pedal, a chamber arrangement comprising a vacuum chamber and a working chamber that are separated from one another by a movable wall, a control valve with a valve element for selectively connecting and separating vacuum chamber and working chamber, and a force output element for transmitting an output force to a master cylinder, wherein the force input element is workingly connectable or connected to a transmission piston arrangement disposed in the control valve, wherein the control valve is settable in accordance with a displacement of the transmission piston arrangement along a longitudinal axis by means of the force input element. In this case, it is provided that the transmission piston arrangement is provided with at least one pressure compensation channel, by means of which a pressure compensation is effected at the valve element.
