Abstract: An FRP curved pipe, particularly suitable for an FRP racket, good in resin flowability and deaeration at the time of molding, less in surface defects and excellent in strength can be obtained by a structure comprising an inner layer including a reinforcing fiber and an outer layer including a non-woven fabric having a single fiber diameter of not greater than 20 .mu.m and a weight per unit area of not greater than 100 g/m.sup.2.

Abstract: A hydraulic pressure control device in a vehicle anti-skid braking system includes a brake master cylinder, a wheel brake actuating cylinder for braking a wheel in response to a fluid pressure from the brake master cylinder, and a directional control valve actuatable in response to a control signal from a control unit which detects a wheel condition such as wheel skidding, for returning a braking fluid from the wheel brake actuating cylinder via a return passage to a fluid pressure supply passage connected to the master cylinder. The return passage has an accumulator for storing part of the fluid from the wheel brake actuating cylinder in an anti-skid control mode. A fluid overflow from the accumulator is delivered via a restriction in the supply passage to the master cylinder to act on the brake pedal as a pedal reaction.

Abstract: A hydraulic pressure control device in a vehicle anti-skid braking system includes a brake master cylinder, a wheel brake actuating cylinder for braking a wheel in response to a fluid pressure from the brake master cylinder, a directional control valve actuatable in response to a signal from a control unit which detects a wheel condition such as wheel skidding, and a pressure control valve for disconnecting the brake master cylinder from a fluid pressure supply passage when a fluid pressure is supplied from the wheel brake actuating cylinder into a fluid pressure return passage connected to the pressure control valve when the directional control valve is actuated.

Abstract: A hydraulic pressure control device in a vehicle anti-skid braking system includes a wheel brake actuating cylinder for braking a vehicle wheel, a fluid pressure supply passage connected between a master cylinder and the wheel brake actuating cylinder and having a restriction, and a first directional control valve disposed in the fluid pressure supply passage and having at least pressure-increasing and pressure-decreasing modes, the first directional control valve being normally in the pressure-increasing mode to connect the master cylinder to the fluid pressure supply passage. A second directional control valve is connected between the master cylinder and the wheel brake actuating cylinder, the second directional control valve being normally open to provide a bypass passage across the first directional control valve to connect the master cylinder passage to the wheel brake actuating cylinder.

Abstract: In an anti-skid braking apparatus for vehicles of the type having a fluid-pressure control valve arranged between a master cylinder and a wheel cylinder for controlling the brake fluid pressure within the wheel cylinder, when it is detected that the vehicle stops, the fluid-pressure control valve is controlled so as to assume a pressure-maintaining mode and a pressure-increasing mode alternately for a predetermined period of time as long as the brake pedal is continuously depressed. As a result, the pressure of the fluid increases stepwise preventing the occurrence of uncomfortable kickback at the brake pedal.

Abstract: A hydraulic pressure control device in a vehicle anti-skid braking system includes a brake master cylinder, a wheel brake actuating cylinder for braking a wheel in response to a fluid pressure from the brake master cylinder, a directional control valve connected between the brake master cylinder and the wheel brake actuating cylinder and shiftable between pressure-increasing and pressure-decreasing modes, and a pressure control valve for connecting the brake master cylinder to a fluid pressure return passage having a reservoir, a pump, and an accumulator when the directional control valve is in the pressure-increasing mode.
