Patent number: 4850262Abstract: A brake booster in a housing, having a servo piston slidably supported in the housing and having a piston rod protruding into the housing for transmitting a brake force. A chamber is provided in the servo piston for receiving brake fluid drawn after the opening of a valve from a reservoir or supply container and pumped via a pump or the like. The chamber also communicates via a further valve or the like with a return line to the supply container. To improve the closing behavior of the valve, the first valve for the admission of the brake fluid is formed in the chamber, embodied as a servo chamber, by a valve bushing, or its annular collar, and a valve seat in a blind bore recess in the servo piston. On the other side, the valve bushing, with a bottom, engages the inside of a bell-shaped valve seat, which together with the piston rod, or a slide connected to the piston rod, forms the valve for returning the brake fluid.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 1988Date of Patent: July 25, 1989Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Edgar Schmitt, Heinz Siegel

Patent number: 4832417Abstract: A brake system having a master brake cylinder with at least one brake chamber, for at least one brake circuit, and a brake booster. The brake booster communicates via a servo pressure line with a reservoir or a pump for supplying pressure fluid, and a pressure reduction valve is incorporated into the servo pressure line. This pressure reduction valve has a connection on the other end, via a pressure line, to at least the one brake circuit. The pressure reduction valve can assume three switching positions. In a first position at normal brake pressure, the servo pressure line is open between the brake booster and the reservoir and/or pump. If a predetermined pressure is exceeded, the servo pressure line is closed, in a second position. If a further threshold pressure value is also exceeded, then the servo pressure line is connected to a return line, so that the brake booster can be bled.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 1988Date of Patent: May 23, 1989Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Georg Kehl, Heinz Siegel

Patent number: 4818039Abstract: An automatic drive slip regulating unit for motor vehicles or the like which communicates via a connecting line with at least one brake line between a master brake cylinder and an anti-skid system with wheel brakes connected downstream. The connecting line is intended to discharge into a cylindrical chamber of an additional master cylinder, and the cylindrical chamber is intended to be variable by a plunger that is subject to the pressure of a spring-supported spring reservoir plunger. To return this spring reservoir plunger to its terminal position, for instance in the event of leakage or upon termination of the drive slip regulation, the spring reservoir plunger is to be subjectable on its other side to a pressure medium which derives from a separate low-pressure hydraulic circuit.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 1987Date of Patent: April 4, 1989Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Hannes Bertling, Heinz Siegel

Patent number: 4776646Abstract: A hydraulic vehicle brake system having a brake booster integrated in a housing and having a master cylinder unit comprising at least two master cylinder pistons with corresponding pressure chambers for at least two separate brake circuits into which an anti-skid system is incorporated, and in which the brake booster and the anti-skid system communicate with a hydraulic energy supply system. The master cylinder pistons are to be disposed in the housing in an axially parallel location, radially opposite of and axially parallel with a restoring piston to be actuated by the anti-skid system. To this end, the master cylinder pistons are connected in the housing with a bushing that is axially displaceable by elements of the brake booster, and this bushing also acts upon the restoring piston.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 1987Date of Patent: October 11, 1988Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: Heinz Siegel

Patent number: 4736646Abstract: A brake pressure control valve including a housing, a control bushing secured therein, a control slide and a travel simulator movable relative to the control bushing and having a spring. The travel simulator has a pressure piece which is rounded on its side toward the control slide. Toward the pressure piece, the control slide is also rounded. Between the control slide and the pressure piece there is a force transmitting member having two plane parallel end faces. A centering means surrounding the force transmitting member and embodied like a rubber-elastic bushing centers the force transmitting member relative to the longitudinal axis of the control slide and orients the end faces transversely to said longitudinal axis. The control slide, the force transmitting member and the pressure piece form roller pairs, which during the actuation of the brake pressure control valve enable relative movements between the pressure piece and the control slide without generating notable radial force components.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 1985Date of Patent: April 12, 1988Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Hannes Bertling, Heinz Leiber, Robert Mergenthaler, Heinz Siegel
