Abstract: A pedal-actuated braking pressure generator for a brake system with anti-lock control comprising a vacuum-operated servo unit (1), which serves both for boosting the braking force and for generating an auxiliary energy opposed to the pedal force. The system further comprises a master brake cylinder (2) and a piston arrangement (3) connected upstream of the servo unit (1). The piston arrangement comprises a pedal-side piston (15), a reversing valve (18), a pressure transmission chamber (17) and a push-rod piston (19). By a multi-directional valve (5) it is possible to arrest the pedal-side piston (15) during anti-lock control. By means of the reversing valve (18), a pressure medium path is established from the pressure transmission chamber (17) to the pressure compensation reservoir (6), thereby the push-rod piston (19) is relieved in the direction of release of the brake.

Abstract: A brake pressure generator for brake systems exhibiting an anti-locking control comprises a vacuum brake force booster (1), and a master brake cylinder (2) coupled upstream thereto, a vacuum counter-force generator (6 or 6') and a hydraulic force converter (27). The pressure and the pressure difference, respectively, in chambers (15 or 15'; 16 or 16') of the counter-force generator (6 or 6') are controlled with the aid of electrically reswitchable multi-way valves (17 to 17') in communication with the atmosphere (Atm) and the vacuum (Vac) source.

Abstract: A resettable booster is disclosed including a booster chamber in communication with a resetting chamber through a closable connection. For pressure relief of the master brake cylinder, valves are switched so that the booster piston is pressure-balanced and the master brake cylinder force shifts the booster piston back into the brake release position. The pressure fluid is supplied from the booster chamber into the resetting chamber. Advantageously, the volume intake of the booster is small, hence allowing the use of an extremely simple pressure source construction. The pressure source is a cylinder with an accumulator chamber that is confined by a piston, wherein the piston is moved by the difference in pressure between the atmosphere and the vacuum in the intake side internal-combustion engine of the vehicle.

Abstract: A hydraulic brake system with slip control wherein at least one wheel brake (11) of an automotive vehicle is connected to a master cylinder (1). A normally opened inlet valve (8) which is adapted to be switched into a closed position is inserted in the connection between the master cylinder (1) and the wheel brake (11). The supply reservoir (6) of the master cylinder (1) contains an opening (13) which can be tightly closed by a filling device. To speed up the filling procedure of like brake systems, an additional connection is established between the supply reservoir (6) and the wheel brake (11) which is controllable by a valve (15). A like arrangement accelerates the venting and filling procedure, since the inlet valve (8) and its throttling action are by-passed.

Abstract: A hydraulic motor vehicle brake system with a master cylinder (61) and a hydraulic power booster (24) connected upstream of the master cylinder (61), in which a pressure medium pump (1) which may be driven by an electric motor is used for providing an auxiliary hydraulic energy. The drive of the pressure medium pump (1) may be switched on by a pressure accumulator (26) which in the unbraked operation of the automotive vehicle is permanently kept on a pressure level sufficient for an initial actuation of the brake. The pressure accumulator (26) is charged by means of a pressure control valve (7) in which a valve passage (15, 17) is operable by a hydraulic pressure in the booster chamber (23) of the power booster (24) such as to ensure that upon pressurization of the booster chamber (23) a connection will be locked between the pressure accumulator (26) and the power booster (24).

Abstract: The hydraulic brake system having at least one wheel brake is adapted to be pressurized by a master brake cylinder actuated by a hydraulic power booster. An auxiliary pressure is adjustable in a pressure chamber of the hydraulic power booster by means of a brake valve. Interposed between an auxiliary pressure source and the brake valve is a pressure-reducing valve that is controllable by the auxiliary pressure and contains a valve controlling a passageway, the valve being acted upon by the auxiliary pressure to open the passageway. To simplify the construction of the pressure-reducing valve, the closure member of the valve is exposed to the reduced pressure in the pressure-reducing valve such that a force related to the valve seat surface will be exerted on the closure member in the closing direction of the passageway of the pressure-reducing valve.

Abstract: The hydraulic brake system with slip control comprises two master cylinder pistons for the operation of the vehicular brakes and in which hydraulic medium tapped from the wheel brake during slip control is returned to the wheel brakes from an auxiliary pressure source via a master cylinder piston gasket acting as check valves. The operating stroke of the master cylinder pistons is limitable by suitable pressurization of a positioning piston. An open connection between the working chambers of the master cylinder and a reservoir is provided, in the brake-released position, solely via the control valve so as to enable the brake circuits connected with the master cylinder to be pressurized right from the beginning of the braking action.

Abstract: A slip-controlled hydraulic brake system which comprises a master cylinder and an auxiliary-pressure supply system is equipped with a travel-responsive switch actuatable by a piston of the master cylinder. An auxiliary-pressure supply system is used for the purpose of pressure delivery during the stop control phase and to safeguard a reserve volume or reserve stroke in the pressure chambers of the master cylinder. To this end, the auxiliary-pressure supply system will be activated and, if need be, check valves will be changed over on attainment of a limit value by virtue of the travel-responsive switch.

In the brake actuating direction, the secondary cylinder piston (41) is supported at a stop ring (48) of a connecting rod (20) between the booster piston (14) and the master cylinder piston (19).
