Abstract: A braking apparatus for a vehicle has: a hydraulic braking pressure control apparatus disposed on a base, including: a control valve unit for switching among a state where hydraulic passages to access a master cylinder are communicated with wheel brakes while the wheel brakes are interrupted from reservoirs, a state where the hydraulic passages are interrupted from the wheel brakes while the wheel brakes are communicated with the reservoirs, and a state where the wheel brakes are interrupted from the hydraulic passages and the reservoirs; pumps; suction valves; and regulators normally communicated the master cylinder with the hydraulic passages as well as interrupt the master cylinder from the hydraulic passages; wherein the suction valves are disposed on the base in positions closer to the suction port of the pumps than the control valve units and the regulators.

Abstract: A brake hydraulic control device for use in a vehicle, includes: a master cylinder with a first reservoir attached thereto; a second reservoir different from the first reservoir; a drive wheel control valve unit switching communication and cut-off between a drive wheel brake and the master cylinder as well as communication and cut-off between the drive wheel brake and the second reservoir; a driven wheel control valve unit switching communication and cut-off between a driven wheel brake and the master cylinder as well as communication and cut-off between the driven wheel brake and the second reservoir; and a pump having a discharge port connected between the drive wheel control valve unit and the drive wheel brake, and a suction port connected to the master cylinder through an open/close switch valve and to the said second reservoir.
