Abstract:
1. A braking device intended for a braking system, comprising an actuating rod ( 11 ) connected by a first longitudinal end to a brake pedal ( 12 ), a pedal-feeling simulation cartridge ( 3 ) having a longitudinal axis (X′) and isolated from the braking system in a normal operating state, said cartridge ( 3 ) comprising a resilient means ( 29 ), which may be elastically deformed by a pressure hydraulic fluid so as to transmit the reaction of a hydraulic braking circuit to the brake pedal ( 12 ) through a second longitudinal end of the control rod ( 11 ), said reaction being predetermined by a compression rate of the elastically-deformable means ( 29 ), and said compression rate being set by compression means ( 38 ), characterised in that said device comprises means for varying the compression rate of the resilient means of said cartridge on order, on the detection of an injury risk concerning the driver, through an action exerted on the compression means ( 38 ).
