Abstract A braking mechanism having an anti-locking system for at least one wheel of a vehicle and comprised of a source of fluid under pressure controlled by the driver, brake operators to receive fluid and connected to a brake of the wheel, a valve having two positions controlled by a member detecting abnormal deceleration of the wheel and capable of connecting the fluid receiving members selectively to the source of fluid under pressure and with a first exhaust pipe including a flow-limiter and a first accumulator interposed between the valve and the flow-limiter. A second exhaust pipe is provided in parallel flow relationship to the first exhaust pipe about the flow-limiter. The second exhaust pipe is comprised of a valve member constituted by a moving member of a second accumulator permanently connected to the brake operators'' supply pipe between the controlled valve and the brake operators, which moving member opens the second exhaust pipe when the volume of fluid is minimal.
Improved braking mechanism having an anti-locking system for at least one wheel of a vehicle comprised of a source of fluid under pressure controlled by the driver, brake operator means receiving said fluid and connected to a brake of said wheel, a valve having two positions controlled by a means detecting abnormal deceleration of said wheel and able to place said brake operator means selectively in fluid communication with said source of fluid under pressure and with a first exhaust pipe including a flow-limiter and a first accumulator wherein said first accumulator is interposed between said control valve and said flow-limiter, the improvement characterized by a second exhaust pipe connected to said first exhaust pipe in parallel flow to said flow-limiter, said second pipe comprising a valve member constituted by a moving member of a second accumulator connected to a pipe supplying said brake operator means between said control valve and said brake operator means, said moving member being in a position to open the second pipe when the volume of said accumulator is minimal.
