Abstract: A brake system with hydraulic force boosting comprises a master cylinder (1) and an auxiliary pressure supply system including a hydraulic pump (10), the driving motor (M) of which is actuated when the brake is applied. The pressure in the working chambers (18,19) of the master cylinder (1) results in the re-switching of valve arrangements (2,3) with the result that the controlled auxiliary pressure is applied to the wheel brakes (4-7) in lieu of the master cylinder pressure (1). For pedal travel simulation, a hydraulic cylinder (37) is connected to a work chamber (19), with the piston (38) of the hydraulic cylinder being displaceable against a restoring spring (39) and against the controlled auxiliary pressure. A pressure-controlled multidirectional valve (40) provides for a connection of the auxiliary pressure source.

Abstract: For attaining an abrupt change in ratio, in a slip-controlled brake system for automotive vehicles, the chamber (11) of a fast-fill cylinder (4) is connected to a plunger chamber (41) of the braking pressure generator (1) which is acted upon by the booster piston (40), while the pressure line (7) leading from the plunger chamber (41) to the fast-fill cylinder (4) contains a pressure-controlled directional control valve (8) governing a pressure-fluid conduit to the pressure-supply reservoir (31). The annular chamber (50) of the fast-fill cylinder (4) is connected by way of a return line (55) to the pressure-supply reservoir (31) and with the prechamber (18) of the master cylinder (15) by way of a pressure line (56), while a pressure-controlled two-way/two-position directional control valve (9) with a non-return valve connected in parallel thereto is arranged in the return line (55).

Abstract: A vehicular hydraulic brake system with an anti-locking arrangement, wherein first valve devices (10, 16, 17, 20, 27, 28, 29, 30) are interposed between a master cylinder (3) and brake-actuating member (11, 12, 13, 14) which valve allow interruption of the supply of pressure fluid to the brake-actuating members (11, 12, 13, 14) and to removal of pressure fluid from brake-actuating members (11, 12, 13, 14). The first valve devices (10, 16, 17, 20, 27, 28, 29, 30) are controllable by a slip-monitoring electronics (18) as a function of the wheel rotational behavior, and provision is made of a device for ensuring availability of a minimum stroke of the master cylinder (3) as a reserve.

Abstract: A brake system with hydraulic brake force boosting comprises a master cylinder (1), to which the wheel brakes (36 to 39, 36' to 39') are connected, as well as of an auxiliary-pressure supply system (11, 12) and of an auxiliary-pressure control valve (10) which causes an auxiliary pressure proportional to the pedal force (F). Inserted into the pressure fluid conduits from the master cylinder (1) to the wheel brakes (36 and 39, 36' to 39') are pressure-controlled multidirectional valves (15, 15', 16, 16') which, in their initial position, provide for hydraulic communication between the master cylinder (1) and the wheel brakes. After a second switch position has been assumed, the auxiliary-pressure source (11, 12) will be connected to the wheel brakes (36 to 39, 36' to 39'), whereby dynamic braking is effected instead of the master cylinder (1).

Abstract: A pressure-fluid-operable vehicle brake system is proposed, which is fed by an auxiliary energy supply system (3) and which comprises a master cylinder device (1), in which a booster piston (40) adapted to be acted upon by the auxiliary energy is slidable in a pressure fluid chamber (26). When the auxiliary energy supply system (3) is intact, the booster piston (40) comprises an effective area for the pressurization of a wheel brake cylinder which is larger than an effective area which results upon failure of the auxiliary energy supply system. Upon failure of the auxiliary energy supply system (3), the necessary deacceleration is achieved because of a smaller effective area at the booster piston (40) and at a greater displacement travel of the booster piston (40) and with less pedal force (F).
