  • Patent number: 4747460
    Abstract: A fail-safe circuit of a fixed speed traveling apparatus wherein there are provided with a control valve for introducing an engine negative pressure to an actuator which controls a throttle opening degree, a release valve for introducing an atmospheric pressure to an actuator and a control circuit for controlling the control valve and the release valve. At brake ON, a first cancel signal is supplied to the control circuit for canceling a fixed speed traveling and to open a current passage of the release valve. A second cancel signal is generated to the control circuit in the case where the current passage of the release valve is open.

  • Patent number: 4497395
    Abstract: An anti creep braking system for a vehicle. A force transmission member is drivingly coupled to a part of the brake pedal and transmits braking force to a braking force generation system. A braked member is selectively braked by a braking device, and is driven by the brake pedal with a one direction force transmission device being interposed on the path of transmission of force between the brake pedal and the braked member. The sense of force transmission of the one direction force transmission device is such that, when the movement of the braked member with respect to the vehicle is prevented by the braking device, the brake pedal may be further depressed to increase vehicle braking action without transmitting substantial force to the braked member, but may not be moved backwards to reduce vehicle braking action.
