Abstract
Abstract A brake device having an antilock controller comprising a hydraulic pump which is reciprocated through a cam by an output shaft responsive to rotation of a wheel to produce a hydraulic pressure for controlling a braking pressure of the wheel, and a sensor which senses, by the overrunning rotation of a flywheel, the situation that the locking of the wheel is restored when the wheel is braked, to produce a signal, wherein the cam of the hydraulic pump and the flywheel of the sensor are arranged adjacent to each other on the output shaft within a hub of the wheel.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
241 words
A brake device for vehicles provided with an antilock controller which comprises a transmission device connected to a wheel; a sensor having a flywheel driven by said transmission device and sensing, by an overrunning rotation of the flywheel, a state of the wheel being about to lock during braking by a wheel brake, to produce an output signal; a hydraulic pump driven by the transmission device; a modulator which has a hydraulic control chamber communicated with an outlet chamber of the hydraulic pump and is interposed in a braking oil passage between a master cylinder and the wheel brake to reduce and restore a braking hydraulic pressure of the wheel brake in response to a decrease and increase in pressure of the hydraulic control chamber; and a normally closed type exhaust pressure valve interposed in a communicating passage between the hydraulic control chamber and an oil reservoir, the valve being opened upon receipt of the output signal from the sensor, wherein said transmission device and said sensor are accommodated within a space between an axle and a hub of the wheel, a cylindrical output shaft of the transmission device is rotatably supported on the outer periphery of the axle which supports the hub, said flywheel being supported on the outer periphery of said output shaft so as to be rotatable overrunningly, and a cam for driving said pump is formed on the outer periphery of said shaft adjacently to the flywheel.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
The brake device of claim 1, wherein said transmission device comprises an accelerating gear unit adapted to accelerate and drive said output shaft from an input member connected to the wheel.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
The brake device of claim 1, wherein said cam comprises a plurality of cam angles provided in an equally spaced relation in the circumference of said output shaft.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
38 words
