Abstract
Abstract An apparatus for propulsion control in a motor vehicle with an anti-locking system is proposed, in which the supply and outflow of pressure medium is controllable via electromagnetically actuatable valves and which is characterized in that means are provided with which the return flow line can be exposed to pressure. It is the purpose of the apparatus to expand an anti-locking system to include a drive slippage regulating function, and this expansion is problem-free and cost-favorable. The proposed apparatus furthermore assures that a brake pedal actuation has priority. It is also proposed in the case of excessive slippage of both driven wheels to reduce the engine output. This is attained with a controllable drag member disposed between the driving pedal (or linkage) and the throttle valve, the control of the drag member being effected by means of the auxiliary pressure in the return flow line and via an electromagnetically controllable three-port, two-position valve for a hydraulic AND member.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
A brake apparatus for a motor vehicle having anti-skid regulation and regulation of the start-up slippage, including a brake pressure generator for supplying a pressure medium in a main line, a pressure source containing a pump, valve means actuatable by a control circuit in accordance with wheel movement behavior for blocking the supply of said pressure medium and for diverting said pressure medium into a return-flow line, a further valve for connecting said pressure source to wheel brakes of said motor vehicle, said control circuit actuating said valve means for the purpose of pressure regulation, said further valve being incorporated into said return-flow line for the purpose of feeding the pressure of said pressure source into said return-flow line and via said valve means into a wheel brake cylinder of a wheel exhibiting a start-up slippage.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
136 words
A brake apparatus for a motor vehicle having anti-skid regulation and regulation of the start-up slippage, including a brake pressure generator for supplying a pressure medium in a main line, a pressure source containing a pump, valve means actuatable by a control circuit in accordance with wheel movement behavior for blocking the supply of said pressure medium and for diverting said pressure medium into a return-flow line, a further valve for connecting said pressure source to wheel brakes of said motor vehicle, said control circuit actuating said valve means for the purpose of pressure regulation, said further valve being incorporated into said return-flow line for the purpose of feeding the pressure of said pressure source into said return-flow line and via said valve means into a wheel brake cylinder of a wheel exhibiting a start-up slippage.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said further valve is responsive to the actuation of a brake pedal of said motor vehicle.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
An apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said further valve is a two-port, two-position valve actuated by said pressure medium.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
An apparatus according to claim 3, wherein control of said further valve is coupled with said main line.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
57 words
An apparatus according to claim 4 wherein at least one electromagnetic actuatable three-port, two-position valve is located in said main line for switching, in a resting state, the pressure in said main line through to individual wheel brake cylinders of said motor vehicle, and in an excited state, the wheel brake cylinders to said return flow line.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
An apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the pressure in the return flow line is furnished selectively by a separate pressure generating means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
31 words
An apparatus according to claim 4, wherein a means responsive to a means for indicating an excessive slippage of all the driven wheels of said motor vehicle reduces the engine output.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
30 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein a means responsive to a means indicating an excessive slippage of some of the driven wheels of said motor vehicle reduces engine output.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
28 words
An apparatus according to claim 8, wherein a varied throttle valve position of said responsive means effectively produces reduction of the engine output in response to excessive slippage.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
27 words
An apparatus according to claim 9, wherein a controllable drag member having a pressure control line is disposed between a gas pedal means and said responsive means.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
24 words
An apparatus of claim 10, wherein control of said drag member is effected by means of an auxiliary pressure on said return flow line.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
23 words
An apparatus of claim 11, wherein an electromagnetically actuatable three-port, two-position valve is located in said pressure control line for the drag member.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
19 words
An apparatus of claim 11, wherein a hydraulic AND-member is located in pressure control line for the drag member.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
29 words
An apparatus of claim 13, wherein the hydraulic AND-member comprises the three-port, two position valves which are selectively switchable in accordance with pressure in the wheel brake cylinder lines.
