Hydraulic braking pressure control apparatus for vehicles

Claim 2

A hydraulic braking pressure control apparatus for vehicles, having an input hydraulic chamber communicating with an output port of a master cylinder, and an output hydraulic chamber communicating with a wheel brake, said output hydraulic chamber being adapted to generate a hydraulic braking pressure in accordance with a hydraulic pressure inducted into said input hydraulic chamber, said output hydraulic chamber being constructed to be enlarged in volume, when a wheel is about to be locked, in accordance with a hydraulic control pressure supplied from an anti-lock control means to a control chamber, said apparatus comprising a casing in which first and second cylinder portions are provided concentrically with a partition interposed therebetween; a first piston fitted slidably in said first cylinder portion to define said input hydraulic chamber on one side of the piston near said partition and said control chamber on an opposite side thereof far away from said partition; a second piston fitted slidably in said second cylinder portion to define said output hydraulic chamber on one side of said second piston near said partition and a spring chamber on an opposite side thereof far away from said partition; a piston rod penetrating through said partition in an oil-tightly slidable manner and having said first and second pistons mounted fixedly on both end portions thereof; a valve mechanism provided in said partition and adapted to be closed in accordance with a displacement of said second piston away from said partition; wherein said spring chamber is in communication with a reservoir provided in said master cylinder and houses therein a spring for urging said second piston toward said partition and wherein a sealing structure is provided for sealing between said output hydraulic chamber and said spring chamber but allowing flow of a working oil from said spring chamber to said output hydraulic chamber through said sealing structure.

Claim 3

A hydraulic braking pressure control apparatus for vehicles, having an input hydraulic chamber communicating with an output port of a master cylinder, and an output hydraulic chamber communicating with a wheel brake, said output hydraulic chamber being adapted to generate a hydraulic braking pressure in accordance with a hydraulic pressure inducted into said input hydraulic chamber, said output hydraulic chamber being constructed to be enlarged in volume, when a wheel is about to be locked, in accordance with a hydraulic control pressure supplied from an anti-lock control means to a control chamber said apparatus comprising a casing in which first and second cylinder portions are provided concentrically with a partition interposed therebetween; a first piston fitted slidably in said first cylinder portion to define said input hydraulic chamber on one side of the piston near said partition and said control chamber on an opposite side thereof far away from said partition; a second piston fitted slidably in said second cylinder portion to define said output hydraulic chamber on one side of said second piston near said partition and a spring chamber on an opposite side thereof far away from said partition; a piston rod penetrating through said partition in an oil-tightly slidable manner and having said first and second pistons mounted fixedly on both end portions thereof; a valve mechanism provided in said partition and adapted to be closed in accordance with a displacement of said second piston away from said partition; wherein said spring chamber is in communication with a reservoir provided in said master cylinder via a throttle and houses therein a spring for urging said second piston toward said partition and wherein a sealing structure is provided for sealing between said output hydraulic chamber and said spring chamber but allowing flow of a working oil from said spring chamber to said output hydraulic chamber through said sealing structure.

Claim 4

A hydraulic braking pressure control apparatus for vehicles, having an input hydraulic chamber communicating with an output port of a master cylinder, and an output hydraulic chamber communicating with a wheel brake, said output hydraulic chamber being adapted to generate a hydraulic braking pressure in accordance with a hydraulic pressure inducted into said input hydraulic chamber, said output hydraulic chamber being constructed to be enlarged in volume, when a wheel is about to be locked, in accordance with a hydraulic control pressure supplied from an anti-lock control means to a control chamber said apparatus comprising a casing in which first and second cylinder portions are provided concentrically with a partition interposed therebetween; a first piston fitted slidably in said first cylinder portion to define said input hydraulic chamber on one side of the piston near said partition and said control chamber on an opposite side thereof far away from said partition; a second piston fitted slidably in said second cylinder portion to define said output hydraulic chamber on one side of said second piston near said partition and a spring chamber on an opposite side thereof far away from said partition; a piston rod penetrating through said partition in an oil-tightly slidable manner and having said first and second pistons mounted fixedly on both end portions thereof; a valve mechanism provided in said partition and adapted to be closed in accordance with a displacement of said second piston away from said partition; wherein said spring chamber is in communication with a reservoir provided in said master cylinder via a throttle and houses therein a spring for urging said second piston toward said partition and wherein a sealing structure is provided for sealing between said output hydraulic chamber and said spring chamber but allowing flow of a working oil from said spring chamber to said output hydraulic chamber through said sealing structure.
