Abstract: A fluid container having at least one internal chamber for receiving a fluid, and having at least one connector for hydraulically connecting the internal chamber to a downstream hydraulic apparatus, wherein the connector at the end thereof toward the internal chamber has a mouth portion. In order to propose an improved fluid container by way of which high volumetric flows can also pass through the connector at high throughflow rates with low losses and reduced resistance, it is proposed that an escape value of the connector is provided so as to be larger than 0.82, and the mouth portion in relation to a container wall region that directly surrounds the mouth portion is at least in portions designed so as to be raised in the direction of the internal chamber.

Abstract: A fluid container having a device which is arranged in an interior space within the fluid container and which serves for monitoring the fill level of a fluid, the device comprising a linearly movable position encoder having a magnet element, the position of which correlates with the fill level of the fluid in the fluid container, and comprising a signal unit, which generates at least one electrical signal in a manner dependent on the position of the magnet element.

Abstract: A pressure medium container for a hydraulic motor vehicle brake system. A pressure medium container is provided including a container casing the interior of which can be filled with a pressure medium via a filler pipe and is closed off by a closure cap fixed to the filler pipe. A sealing element made from an elastomeric material is provided between the filler pipe and a bottom of the closure cap. The sealing element has a valve which rests on a support pedestal arranged on the closure cap is closed in a non-actuated initial state and reaches an opened actuated state under the control of differential pressure, whereby a pressure is equalized between an interior of the pressure medium container and an ambient atmosphere. Direction-dependently, the valve has different valve opening resistances.

Abstract: An assembly includes a fluid reservoir and a master cylinder for a motor vehicle hydraulic brake system, the fluid reservoir being fastened to the master cylinder by a releasable connection and including at least one connection fitting, which is received in a corresponding connection aperture of the master cylinder. The fluid reservoir includes one or more components, which under a defined force applied to the fluid reservoir, allow a movement of at least one part of the fluid reservoir in the direction of the master cylinder.

Abstract: A compensation tank for hydraulic motor vehicle brake systems, including a tank housing having at least one pressure medium chamber which can be filled with pressure medium via a filler neck, and a cap which can be fastened to the filler neck by a threaded connection having a cap thread and a tank thread. The cap and the tank housing each have a respective stop, which stops permit a predetermined positioning of the cap in relation to the tank housing.

Abstract: A motor vehicle hydraulic brake system fluid reservoir for use with an electronic control unit. The hydraulic brake system fluid reservoir has a housing including a reservoir interior space having at least one fluid chamber, and a device for monitoring a reservoir filling level including a switch unit, which with a contact carrier projects into a guide sleeve, which extends into a separate chamber of the reservoir interior space. A sensor element or switch element is arranged on the contact carrier and is operable by a pickup carried on the guide sleeve at a switching point, at which the switch unit generates a signal for the electronic control unit. The separate chamber is connected to the fluid chamber by way of a fluid connection. Valve means are also provided, which serves to control the fluid flow between the separate chamber and the fluid chamber.

Abstract: A method for optimizing the switching behaviour of a tank warning device of a compensation tank, in particular for a hydraulic motor-vehicle brake system, with a housing and the tank warning device for monitoring the tank filling level of the compensation tank. The tank warning device including a switching unit with a reed contact as a switching element, which can be switched by means of a magnet at a switching point S at which the switching unit generates a signal for an electronic control unit. A compensation tank including a tank warning device which has been optimized in terms of switching by means of a method according to the invention is also disclosed. The reed contact and the magnet are matched to one another in a manner optimized in terms of switching in such a way that the magnet switches at a single switching lobe of the reed contact.
