Abstract: The present invention pertains to a hydraulic braking device which is provided with: a housing; a pump disposed within the housing; a motor that drives the pump; a plurality of solenoid valves disposed within the housing; WC ports that are provided to the housing and connected to wheel cylinders; and flow channels provided within the housing to connect between the pump, the solenoid valves and the WC ports, and in which the motor and the solenoid valves are controlled such that fluid pressure is generated in the wheel cylinders. The hydraulic braking device is further provided with a Helmholtz damper that is disposed within the housing to be connected to the flow channels and reduces pulses generated by the driving of the pump.

Abstract: A hydraulic unit for a vehicle brake apparatus having a master cylinder and a wheel cylinder includes a housing formed with a pipe line connecting between the master cylinder and the wheel cylinder, a pump disposed in the housing for sucking and discharging a brake fluid to boost pressure of the brake fluid, and a reservoir piston disposed in a hole formed in the housing so as to be movable slidably back and forth, the reservoir piston partitioning a reservoir chamber within the hole for temporarily storing the brake fluid discharged from the wheel cylinder. The hydraulic unit further includes a cover disposed in the hole to close one end on an atmospheric side of the hole, the cover being formed with a fluid reservoir chamber for storing the brake fluid leaking from the pump.

Abstract: A brake fluid pressure controlling actuator is equipped with a block, an electric device secured to the block, and a casing attached to the block, and a board support with a stay. The brake fluid pressure controlling actuator is designed to have the board support disposed in the casing and also have a circuit board placed in contact with the stay of the board support. The stay of the board support serves to firmly hold a portion of the circuit board around a through-hole formed in the circuit board when a terminal of an electric device is press-fitted into the through-hole, thereby minimizing the degree of bending of the circuit board to ensure the stability in electrically connecting the electric device to the circuit board.

Abstract: To minimize the amount of air that may enter the damper chamber in a normally closed solenoid valve to stably maintain the damper capacity, the normally closed solenoid valve has a valve housing and a movable element. A cylinder having an open end is formed in one of the valve housing and the movable element. The cylinder has an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of a trunk of the movable element. A piston provided on the other of the valve chamber and the movable element is movable relative to the cylinder as the movable member moves. The piston is inserted into the cylinder through its open end to define a damper chamber between the piston and the cylinder. A restricted passage is formed between the damper chamber and the valve chamber through which hydraulic fluid can be moved between the valve chamber and the damper chamber.
