  • Patent number: 6195993
    Abstract: The invention relates to a master cylinder with hydraulic reaction for a pneumatic brake booster, comprising a main piston (12) receiving a boost force, and a reaction piston (3), mounted so that it can slide in a reaction chamber (4) of the main piston and receiving an actuating force. The master cylinder of the invention also comprises a seat support (7) against which the reaction piston (3) can press and which is mounted so that it can slide towards a low-pressure chamber, the reaction piston (3) and this seat support in combination constituting a stepped assembly in the reaction chamber (3) capable of receiving, from the pressure in the reaction chamber (3), a force which combines with the braking effort after a sharp application of the brakes.
