Abstract
Abstract A brake pressure control valve including a housing, a control bushing secured therein, a control slide and a travel simulator movable relative to the control bushing and having a spring. The travel simulator has a pressure piece which is rounded on its side toward the control slide. Toward the pressure piece, the control slide is also rounded. Between the control slide and the pressure piece there is a force transmitting member having two plane parallel end faces. A centering means surrounding the force transmitting member and embodied like a rubber-elastic bushing centers the force transmitting member relative to the longitudinal axis of the control slide and orients the end faces transversely to said longitudinal axis. The control slide, the force transmitting member and the pressure piece form roller pairs, which during the actuation of the brake pressure control valve enable relative movements between the pressure piece and the control slide without generating notable radial force components.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
178 words
A brake pressure control valve for a hydraulic brake system comprising a longitudinal housing, a control bushing (4) mounted within said housing, an axially extending control slide (5) operative for axial movement in said control bushing along a longitudinal axis and a travel simulator (6) in axial alignment with said control bushing, said travel simulator includes an actuating member, at least one member (7,8) being coaxially arranged with said actuating member and being substantially elastic in a longitudinal axial direction of the control slide, said at least one member being movable counter to the control slide by means of said actuating member 19 in a direction toward said control bushing, a force transmitting means (10,41) disposed between said control slide and said actuating member, said force transmitting means includes roller surfaces (17,27) which have a relative movement path extending substantially transversely to the longitudinal axis of the control slide and said force transmitting means includes a centering means which is elastic at least radially to the longitudinal axis of the control slide and surrounds said force transmitting means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
178 words
A brake pressure control valve for a hydraulic brake system comprising a longitudinal housing, a control bushing (4) mounted within said housing, an axially extending control slide (5) operative for axial movement in said control bushing along a longitudinal axis and a travel simulator (6) in axial alignment with said control bushing, said travel simulator includes an actuating member, at least one member (7,8) being coaxially arranged with said actuating member and being substantially elastic in a longitudinal axial direction of the control slide, said at least one member being movable counter to the control slide by means of said actuating member 19 in a direction toward said control bushing, a force transmitting means (10,41) disposed between said control slide and said actuating member, said force transmitting means includes roller surfaces (17,27) which have a relative movement path extending substantially transversely to the longitudinal axis of the control slide and said force transmitting means includes a centering means which is elastic at least radially to the longitudinal axis of the control slide and surrounds said force transmitting means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
A brake pressure control valve as defined by claim 1, in which said force transmitting member is embodied as a ball.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
40 words
A brake pressure control valve as defined by claim 2, in which said control slide and a component part of said travel simulator each include a flat surface adahacent said ball transversely to the longitudinal axis of the control slide.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
92 words
A brake pressure control valve as defined by claim 3, in which said component part of said simulator is a guide head, said guide head includes an axially aligned stem, a guide body on said stem, a guide tube surrounding said guide body, said guide body extending in axial alignment from a tappet, a guide sleeve surrounding said guide tube, said guide sleeve including a radially extending collar, a first spring surrounding said guide tube between said tappet and said collar, and a second spring between said guide head and said collar.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
54 words
A brake pressure control valve as defined by claim 1, in which said force transmitting member has substantially identical dimensions along and transversely to the longitudinal axis of said control slide and has two plane parallel end faces adjacent rounded end faces of said control slide and a component part of said travel simulator.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
47 words
A brake pressure control valve as defined by claim 1, in which said centering means comprises at least three leaf springs which are oriented in planes substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the control slide and are secured on a component part of said travel simulator.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
47 words
A brake pressure control valve as defined by claim 6, in which said centering means comprises at least four leaf springs which are oriented in planes substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the control slide and are secured on a component part of said travel simulator.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
40 words
A brake pressure control valve as defined by claim 1, in which said centering means is embodied in the form of a rubber-like, elastic bushing, and that said centering means is supported by a component part of said travel simulator.
