Abstract

Abstract FLUID COMMUNICATION BETWEEN A SOURCE OF FLUID PRESSURE AND THE POWER CHAMBER OF A VEHICLE HYDRAULIC BRAKE BOOSTER IS CONTROLLED BY A SPOOL VALVE THAT IS OPERATED BY THE VEHICLE OPERATOR. THE SPOOL VALVE IS PROVIDED WITH INTERNAL PASSAGES THROUGH WHICH THE FLUID FLOWS. A SLEEVE IS SLIDABLY MOUNTED ON THE VALVE FOR CLOSING THE PASSAGES WHEN A MALFUNCTION PREVENTS MOVEMENT OF THE VALVE. MOVEMENT OF THE SLEEVE IS INITIALLY RETARDED DURING A BRAKE APPLICATION TO PREVENT THE SLEEVE FROM CLOSING THE PASSAGES WHEN THE VEHICLE OPERATOR ABRUPTLY APPLIES HIS BRAKES.
