Abstract
Abstract A dual circuit brake valve which is provided with a relief connection intended for two separate individual valves and in which two outlet valve seats are disposed centrally in the valve. The two outlet valve seats are prestressed with respect to one another by way of a bolt and a prestressed pressure-limiting spring in such a way that at a time braking begins the two individual valves represent a rigid connection. From a pressure limitation point on, the two individual valves then support themselves elastically against one another, so that a further increase in braking pressure is precluded. The dual circuit brake valve is intended for brake systems having high pressure as a reservoir pressure and normal pressure as the braking pressure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
103 words
A dual circuit brake valve for a brake system of a motor vehicle comprising a housing, said brake valve having two individual valves disposed one after the other in said valve housing, each of said individual valves including an inlet valve seat and a piston including an outlet valve seat, a control and repercussion piston for operating said individual valves, further including an actuation member for mechanical actuation of at least one of said two individual valves, characterized in that a pressure-limiting spring is inserted between said pistons of said two individual valves for the purpose of pressure limitation between said two valves.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
103 words
A dual circuit brake valve for a brake system of a motor vehicle comprising a housing, said brake valve having two individual valves disposed one after the other in said valve housing, each of said individual valves including an inlet valve seat and a piston including an outlet valve seat, a control and repercussion piston for operating said individual valves, further including an actuation member for mechanical actuation of at least one of said two individual valves, characterized in that a pressure-limiting spring is inserted between said pistons of said two individual valves for the purpose of pressure limitation between said two valves.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
A dual circuit brake valve as defined by claim 1, characterized in that a distance between said outlet valve seats of the two individual valves can become smaller than a distance between said inlet valve seats of the individual valves.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
A dual circuit brake valve as defined by claim 1, characterized in that said pressure-limiting spring is disposed in a common relief outlet of the two individual valves.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
46 words
A dual circuit brake valve as defined by claim 1, 2, or 3, characterized in that the pressure-limiting spring is embodied in a hollow cylindrical form and that its internal free space represents a passageway to the ambient air which is intended for both brake circuits.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
A dual circuit brake valve as defined by claim 1, 2, or 3, characterized in that the pressure-limiting spring is fastened in place and prestressed.
