Abstract: A tandem master brake cylinder for a hydraulic motor vehicle brake system, which is impinged upon by a pneumatic brake booster, including at least one piston which is displaceable in a housing and has a plurality of follow-up connections the follow-up connections allowing a hydraulic connection between the pressure chamber and a pressureless follow-up chamber at the start of a braking operation. At least some of the follow-up connections are formed as transverse bores through a wall of at least one piston and are arranged at a same distance relative to the piston edge in a main plane, wherein the overtravel thereof by the sealing collar defines a closure path of the piston. In order to allow a smooth, quiet and yet sufficiently reliable braking initiation, the follow-up connections are arranged in a distributed manner on at least three planes, the planes being arranged at a distance to one another and in parallel to the piston edge.

Abstract: Disclosed is a motor-pump assembly (1) for a brake actuating device of a motor vehicle brake system with a pneumatic brake booster. An electric motor (3) drives a double diaphragm pump (2) with two working diaphragms (4) which are located opposite one another. Air expelled from the working spaces (7) is directed into an interior space (22) surrounding a crank drive (8) of the pump housing (5). An air outlet unit (13) permits low-noise expulsion of the air from the interior space 22 by deflecting the air. In order to make available a low-noise, cost-reduced motor-pump assembly the eccentrics (9) each have an unbalance weight (25) integrally molded onto the eccentric (9).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for thermally initiated triggering of an aerosol fire extinguisher having a strike pin (6) acted upon by an inner spring (7) and locked in the stand-by state, and after thermal initiation, the lock is removed and the strike pin (6), driven by the force of the inner spring (7), strikes against a mechanical firing cap (1), whereby an initial firing material is released in the firing cap (1), igniting a booster charge (2), the hot conversion gas thereof igniting a pyrotechnic extinguisher charge in the aerosol fire extinguisher. In order that an absolutely reliable initiation takes place under the same conditions throughout the entire service life of the aerosol fire extinguisher, it is proposed that only immediately after the thermal initiation, when the firing pin (6) is still locked, the inner spring (7) is brought to the necessary tension for triggering the firing cap (1), and only after reaching said tension is the lock of the firing pin (6) automatically released.

Abstract: A brake system having a pressure control valve assembly with an inlet valve in a brake line between a master brake cylinder and a wheel brake cylinder. The brake system is also equipped with a precharging pump and a return pump. A charging valve is disposed in a feed line connecting the two pumps. In phases of brake pressure holding and brake pressure reduction upon traction control, the pumping of brake fluid through the continuously operated return pump by the precharging pump is intended to be suppressed. When the precharging pump and the return pump are driven by a common drive motor, the charging valve, which is embodied as a 2/2-way valve, assures that when the anti-skid system becomes operative an exchange of brake fluid between the precharging pump and the return pump is suppressed. When the traction control becomes operative, contrarily, the valve enables pumping of brake fluid from the precharging pump to the return pump, but only whenever the pressure control valve is switched for pressure buildup.
