Title: Hydraulic brake system
Inventor: BELART JUAN
IPC: B60T8/94
Filed: 1984-06-27
Abstract: A hydraulic accumulator 26 supplies servo-energy for initial brake actuation in a hydraulic motor vehicle brake system comprising a hydraulic power booster (24) connected upstream of a master cylinder (61) and a pressure medium pump (1) driven by an electric motor (2) energised in response to low accumulator pressure. The drive of the pressure medium pump (1) is switched on by closure of contacts (31, 32, 33) when pressure falls in chamber 25 of the pressure accumulator (26) which in the unbraked operation of the vehicle is permanently kept at a pressure level sufficient for initial actuation of the brake. The pressure accumulator (26) is charged through a valve (7) having a valve passage (17) which is closable by a ball valve element (15) in response to hydraulic pressure in the booster chamber (23) acting in chamber (21) to isolate the accumulator (26) during brake actuation. The power booster (24) has a pedal-operable throttle valve (46/50) to control boost pressure and a valve (51/49) which in its apply brake position establishes a connection for the pump (1) to the booster chamber (23). <IMAGE>
