  • Patent number: 5209553
    Abstract: An anti-locking hydraulic brake system is described which includes a pump, the output of which flows through a pressure valve (20), a damping chamber (24), a check valve (28) and a throttle (3I) and is delivered to a pressure connection in communication with the wheel brake conduit. To ensure, in a compact structural design, a noise-minimizing hydraulic pressure source, while avoiding a flow back of pressure fluid from the brake system into the damping device, a check valve (28) is integrated into the damping device. A pressure valve is integrated with the check valve and damping chamber, with an elastomeric elastic member disposed in the damping chamber to absorb pressure pulsations.

  • Patent number: 5096400
    Abstract: A hydraulic pump which is furnished with a bushing-type closing element (11) for the purpose of damping pulsations of pressure and of the delivery flow. The closing element (11) turns the delivery flow several times and contains a damping chamber. An optimum adjustment of the damping device is possible by varying the external diameter of the end portion (12) of the closing element (11) and by varying the reach of screw of the closing element (11).
