Abstract
Abstract A slip-controlled brake system for automotive vehicles comprises a braking pressure generator (1) including a power brake booster (2) supplied with auxiliary energy, as well as of a master cylinder (3) directly connected thereto. The wheel brakes of the rear axle HA are connected to the power brake booster (2), while the front-wheel brakes communicate with the working chamber (16) of the master cylinder (3). For the purpose of brake slip control, inlet valves (EV) are inserted into the pressure fluid conduits to the wheel brakes, and outlet valves, (AV) are inserted into the pressure fluid lines from the brakes to a pressure supply reservoir (15).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
190 words
A slip-controlled brake system for automotive vehicles having front and rear brakes, said system comprising, in combination: a braking pressure generator including a power brake booster provided with a source of auxiliary energy and a pressure chamber, said pressure generator further including a master cylinder provided with a working chamber therein; a pressure supply reservoir connected to said pressure generator; a first pressure conduit connecting said rear brakes to said power brake booster; a normally open inlet valve inserted in said first pressure conduit; a second pressure conduit connecting said front brakes to said working chamber of said master cylinder; a normally open inlet valve inserted in said second pressure conduit; a third pressure conduit connecting said front and rear brakes to said pressure supply reservoir; at least one normally closed outlet valve inserted in said third pressure conduit; a pressure reducer device inserted in said first pressure conduit between the normally open inlet valve therein and said power brake booster; and, means for providing a parallel pressure conduit bridging said pressure reducer device between said first conduit and said pressure chamber of said power brake booster during slip control.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
190 words
A slip-controlled brake system for automotive vehicles having front and rear brakes, said system comprising, in combination: a braking pressure generator including a power brake booster provided with a source of auxiliary energy and a pressure chamber, said pressure generator further including a master cylinder provided with a working chamber therein; a pressure supply reservoir connected to said pressure generator; a first pressure conduit connecting said rear brakes to said power brake booster; a normally open inlet valve inserted in said first pressure conduit; a second pressure conduit connecting said front brakes to said working chamber of said master cylinder; a normally open inlet valve inserted in said second pressure conduit; a third pressure conduit connecting said front and rear brakes to said pressure supply reservoir; at least one normally closed outlet valve inserted in said third pressure conduit; a pressure reducer device inserted in said first pressure conduit between the normally open inlet valve therein and said power brake booster; and, means for providing a parallel pressure conduit bridging said pressure reducer device between said first conduit and said pressure chamber of said power brake booster during slip control.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
The brake system according to claim 1, wherein said means includes a fourth pressure conduit having a check valve inserted therein and said fourth pressure conduit serially coupling said first pressure conduit with said working chamber and said pressure chamber.
