Abstract
Abstract A brake power servo booster, in which a fluid pressure difference is generated between opposite sides of a power piston, is provided with a wedge shaped member which is forced by the power piston between the wedge shaped recess of the members of an output shaft. When the wedge shaped member is forced into the recess by the piston the distance between the members of the output shaft is enlarged.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
132 words
A brake power servo booster in which a fluid pressure difference is generated between opposite sides of a power piston so as to cause said power piston to advance by said pressure difference, wherein the advancing force is transmitted to an output shaft, wherein said output shaft comprises at least two members with a wedge-shaped recess formed between said at least two members and a wedge member is pressed into said wedge-shaped recess by said power piston when said power piston is caused to advance, thereby causing the distance between said at least two members to be enlarged; wherein said wedge member comprises an annular elastic member having a plurality of circumferentially equidistant recesses formed at its outer peripheral surface, and a plurality of balls located in respective ones of said recesses.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
132 words
A brake power servo booster in which a fluid pressure difference is generated between opposite sides of a power piston so as to cause said power piston to advance by said pressure difference, wherein the advancing force is transmitted to an output shaft, wherein said output shaft comprises at least two members with a wedge-shaped recess formed between said at least two members and a wedge member is pressed into said wedge-shaped recess by said power piston when said power piston is caused to advance, thereby causing the distance between said at least two members to be enlarged; wherein said wedge member comprises an annular elastic member having a plurality of circumferentially equidistant recesses formed at its outer peripheral surface, and a plurality of balls located in respective ones of said recesses.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
198 words
A brake power servo booster in which a fluid pressure difference is generated between opposite sides of a power piston so as to cause said power piston to advance by said pressure difference, wherein the advancing force is transmitted to an output shaft, wherein said output shaft comprises at least two members with a wedge-shaped recess formed between said at least two members and a wedge member is pressed into said wedge-shaped recess by said power piston when said power piston is caused to advance, thereby causing the distance between said at least two members to be enlarged; wherein said at least two members comprise a first member secured to said output shaft for movement therewith and a second member movable with respect to said output shaft, said power piston including a portion movable with respect to both of said first and second members and having an inclined surface which, upon advancement of said power piston, urges said wedge member into said recess; and wherein said wedge member comprises an annular elastic member having a plurality of circumferentially equidistant recesses formed at its outer peripheral surface, and a plurality of balls located in respective ones of said recesses.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
198 words
A brake power servo booster in which a fluid pressure difference is generated between opposite sides of a power piston so as to cause said power piston to advance by said pressure difference, wherein the advancing force is transmitted to an output shaft, wherein said output shaft comprises at least two members with a wedge-shaped recess formed between said at least two members and a wedge member is pressed into said wedge-shaped recess by said power piston when said power piston is caused to advance, thereby causing the distance between said at least two members to be enlarged; wherein said at least two members comprise a first member secured to said output shaft for movement therewith and a second member movable with respect to said output shaft, said power piston including a portion movable with respect to both of said first and second members and having an inclined surface which, upon advancement of said power piston, urges said wedge member into said recess; and wherein said wedge member comprises an annular elastic member having a plurality of circumferentially equidistant recesses formed at its outer peripheral surface, and a plurality of balls located in respective ones of said recesses.
