Abstract: A known hydraulic vehicle brake system has an anti-skid valve assembly. By this assembly, the at least one wheel brake can be temporarily disconnected from the master brake cylinder and connected to one inlet of a return pump, which furnishes the quantities of pressure fluid flowing out of the wheel brakes both to a damper chamber and, via a damper throttle, to the master brake cylinder and/or the at least one wheel brake. The disadvantage is that all of the pressure fluid pumped by the return pump can sometimes reach the master brake cylinder, disagreeably moving the brake pedal in the direction of its outset position. This can annoy a driver and should be avoided. The improved vehicle brake system has a valve, which in anti-skid operation can be blocked, located between the damper throttle and the master brake cylinder and also has a bypass throttle bypassing the valve. As a result, during anti-skid operation, the brake pedal is not displaced to such an annoying extent.

Abstract: A hydraulic dual-circuit brake system for motor vehicles comprising an antilock system (ABS) and an anti-spin control system (ASR) a four-duct hydro unit with control valves and a return pump with two separate pump elements for each brake circuit. An active piston storage unit is provided to supply brake pressure during ASR operation and each brake circuit containing at least one drive wheel is separable from a main master brake cylinder by means of a stop valve. The piston storage unit replaces the usual storage chamber at the input of a dual pump element provided for the brake circuit of the drive wheels and is activated at the beginning of anti-spin operation and is thereby filled with brake fluid from the brake fluid container. The piston storage unit is then de-activated such that the storage spring becomes operative and brake fluid is supplied via the storage piston into the pump element connected to the piston storage unit.

Abstract: A vehicle brake system comprising a hydraulically controllable 2/2-way valve, which has a first control inlet and a second control inlet. The first control inlet receives its control pressure from a first brake pressure source, while the second control inlet contrarily receives its control pressure from a second brake pressure source, such as a so-called return pump apparatus. The vehicle brake system can be used in passenger cars, vans, small buses, and small trucks as well as motor cycles.

Abstract: An anti-skid apparatus having a valve, which is embodied to form a pressure limiting device between the outlet of a return pump and a master brake cylinder. As a consequence, a high-pressure reservoir can be of smaller capacity and can therefore be less expensive, since the pressure limiting device protects the pressure reservoir and other hydraulic elements from a pressure overload.

Abstract: The invention relates to an anti-skid apparatus operatively positioned between a master brake cylinder and wheel brakes of a vehicle brake system. The anti-skid apparatus protects the wheel brakes from locking. The apparatus includes a controllable master brake line valve, which is open in its basic position and during normal braking; only in anti-skid braking operation does it disconnect the outlet of the return pump from the master brake cylinder.
