Abstract: 1379227 Hydraulic actuators for brakes GIRLING Ltd 11 Feb 1972 [17 Feb 1971] 4874/71 Headings F2E and F2F An hydraulic vehicle brake actuator comprises a double ended cylinder having an outer piston working in each end and an inner piston in a blind bore in each outer position urged in an opposite direction to the outer piston by fluid pressure supplied to the closed end of the blind bore, the inner piston being mechanically connected to the respective opposite outer piston to transmit axial movement. The inner pistons 29, 30, Fig.6 engage fingers 33, 34 of corresponding pushers 31, 32 which abut the opposite outer pistons 25, 26, the fingers of each pusher passing through the body of the opposite pusher. Discs 35 with part spherical surfaces compensate for unbalanced forces between the pushers 31, 32 and the inner pistons 29, 30. Alternatively, thrust rods, secured in each inner piston, pass through holes in the opposite inner piston to abut the opposite outer piston. In Fig. 11, the outer pistons 60, 61 have axial fingers 63, 64, which are angularly spaced, which abut heads 72, 67 extending from opposite inner pistons 70, 65, the heads being shaped to allow the fingers of their corresponding outer pistons to extend past. Fluid is supplied to the blind bores in the outer pistons directly via connections in the pistons, or by connections 73 and axial passages 77 in the inner pistons. This actuator provides brake actuation by two separate circuits, and if one circuit fails, Fig. 6, both outer pistons 25, 26 are actuated by one inner piston 29, though the brake force is decreased by 50%.

Title: Improvements in shock dampers for automobiles
IPC: B60G17/06
Filed: 1934-02-14
Abstract: 433,706. Controlling shock-absorbers. HIVES, E. W., Rostern, Duffield Road, Mickleover, Derby. Feb. 14, 1934, No. 4876. [Class 108 (iii)] Adjusting means for vehicle shock-absorbers include a connection between the brake pedal and a device for varying the loading of the shock-absorbers so arranged that on small braking force being exerted the shockabsorbers are not affected, but on substantial braking force are set to give substantial damping. As shown the brake pedal a is carried by a lever b pivoted to the brake lever a<1>, the levers being separated at their upper adjacent ends by a spring b<2> and connected at their other ends respectively to the brakes (not shown) by a rod a<3>, and by linkage b3, b<4>, b5, b<6> to a lever c which operates a piston c<1> in an oil-filled cylinder c<2> to adjust the shock-absorbers. The lever c is also connected through linkage d<1>, d<2>, d<3>, d<4> to a control lever d<5> on the steering column d<6>. The shock-absorbers, which may also be controlled as described in Specification 425,132, are normally adjusted by the lever d<5>. If the brake pedal a is applied with ordinary force no relative movement occurs between the levers a<1>, b which turn together about their lower ends. Should, however, the applied force be sufficient to compress the spring b<2>, the lever b moves relatively to the lever a<1> and in turn moves the crank b<4> and lever c into the positions shown in dotted lines thus tightening the shock-absorbers. The Provisional Specification describes also (1) a construction in which a spring-pressed lever connected with the shock-absorber control mechanism is so arranged adjacent the brake pedal that small movements of the pedal do not affect the lever while large movements cause it to operate to stiffen the shock-absorbers, and (2) a construction in which a lost-motion device is fitted in a rod forming part of the connection between the brake pedal and brakes, the device operating against the resistance of a strong spring, which, when a predetermined brake-applying pressure is reached, is compressed, the movement being amplified through multiplying levers to stiffen the dampers.
