Braking booster servo unit having a fixing bracing member

Claim 1

A braking booster servo unit of vacuum type comprising a casing having an axis of symmetry along which an actuating force is transmitted by means of axial actuating rod connected to the brake pedal, said casing having two substantially parallel first and second end walls, said first wall being attached to a fixed part of a vehicle, said second wall holding a brake actuating master cylinder in axial alignment with said actuating rod for receiving said actuating force at its input, said first end wall having an inside face, said servo unit being designed to be attached to said fixed part by means of two screws, each of said screws having threaded portions which project perpendicularly outwardly of said first wall substantially parallel to said axis of summetry and on respective sides thereof, said screws being in contact with the inside face of said first wall by way of an annular bracing member, wherein the improvement consists in that said bracing member is elastic and has a face with a curved surface, said curved surface having diametrically opposed first and second areas and angularly offset diametrically opposed third and fourth areas, said first and second areas engaging said inside face of said first end wall, said third area being connected to one of said two screws and said fourth area being connected to the other of said two screws, said two screws on attachment to said fixed part transmitting a variable prestress force into said first end wall through said first and second areas of said bearing member.
