Abstract
Abstract An anti-skid brake control device including a wheel cylinder having defined therein a first hydraulic chamber connected with a brake fluid line extending from the master cylinder and a second hydraulic chamber connected with a pressure controlling fluid circuit. As the brake fluid line is isolated from the pressure controlling circuit by the output member of the wheel cylinder, the brake system can operate effectively, though in a conventional manner, should oil leakage occur in the controlling circuit. On a four-wheeled vehicle, each pair of front or rear wheel cylinders can be served by a common arrangement of such pressure controlling circuit for anti-skid control.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
180 words
An improved anti-skid brake control system for use with wheeled vehicles including, a brake fluid pressure producing unit; a wheel cylinder associated with a vehicle wheel and being hydraulically connected to said unit for application of a brake force, said wheel cylinder having a piston slidable therein with a brake applying element connected thereto, fluid control valve means connected to high and low pressure lines; means connected to said fluid control valve means for sensing locking of said wheel, to thereupon produce an output signal actuating said fluid control valve means, the improvement comprising: a first hydraulic chamber formed in said wheel cylinder with a piston member disposed on one side thereof and being directly connected to said unit for applying a hydraulic pressure to said piston member for brake application; a second hydraulic chamber formed in said wheel cylinder by said piston member on the opposite side thereof, being connected with said high and low pressure lines through said fluid control valve means, for applying a regulated hydraulic pressure to said piston member for counteracting hydraulic pressure applied thereto.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
180 words
An improved anti-skid brake control system for use with wheeled vehicles including, a brake fluid pressure producing unit; a wheel cylinder associated with a vehicle wheel and being hydraulically connected to said unit for application of a brake force, said wheel cylinder having a piston slidable therein with a brake applying element connected thereto, fluid control valve means connected to high and low pressure lines; means connected to said fluid control valve means for sensing locking of said wheel, to thereupon produce an output signal actuating said fluid control valve means, the improvement comprising: a first hydraulic chamber formed in said wheel cylinder with a piston member disposed on one side thereof and being directly connected to said unit for applying a hydraulic pressure to said piston member for brake application; a second hydraulic chamber formed in said wheel cylinder by said piston member on the opposite side thereof, being connected with said high and low pressure lines through said fluid control valve means, for applying a regulated hydraulic pressure to said piston member for counteracting hydraulic pressure applied thereto.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
78 words
An anti-skid brake control device as defined in claim 1, in which said sensing system is so constructed as to produce such an output signal to said fluid control valve means that said high-pressure and low-pressure fluid lines are respectively, held open and closed, after the angular deceleration of the wheel has reached a predetermined threshold value until the angular acceleration of the wheel arising upon disappearance of the angular wheel deceleration falls to a predetermined threshold value.
