  • Patent number: 5664475
    Abstract: A pneumatic servo for assisting braking. The servo has a casing with an axis of symmetry which is divided in leaktight fashion by a movable wall structure into a front chamber and a rear chamber. The front chamber is permanently connected to a source of partial vacuum while the rear chamber is connected selectively to the front chamber and to air in the surrounding environment by a three-way valve. A sleeve divided an annular bore located in a projection that extends through the movable wall through the casing into a static volume and a concentric annular volume. The sleeve engages the projection to position the three-way valve in the bore. A return spring located in the static volume engages the control rod while an end plug engages the sleeve to seal the static volume from the surrounding environment.
