Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a brake servomotor assembly (1) consisting of a front half-shell (6) and a rear half-shell (8) and mounted on a stationary part (4, 40) of a vehicle by means of lugs (54, 56, 154) arranged in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the servomotor and around this axis, extending radially outwards and cooperating with bearing surfaces (34, 36, 134) with corresponding shapes and dimensions for mounting by mechanism of axial engagement followed by rotation, an elastic means (25, 125) being arranged between the servomotor (1) and the stationary part (4,40), the servomotor (1) having a central hub (24) on the rear half-shell (8) comprising a control valve mechanism (26) of the servomotor (1). The lugs (154) or the bearing surfaces (34, 36) are formed as a single piece with the central hub (24) and cooperate respectively with the bearing surfaces (134) or the lugs (54, 56) formed on the stationary part (4, 40) of the vehicle.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
153 words
A brake servomotor assembly comprising a front half-shell and a rear half-shell and mounted on a stationary part of a vehicle by means of a lug/bearing surface attachment consisting of lugs arranged in a plane perpendicular to an axis of the servomotor and disposed around said axis to extend radially outwardly and cooperate with bearing surfaces with corresponding shapes and dimensions to effect mounting of the servomotor on the stationary part by means of axial engagement followed by rotation of the servomotor, elastic means arranged between the servomotor and stationary part, and a servomotor central hub at the rear half-shell and which extends axially and exteriorly of the rear half-shell, the hub including control valve means of the servomotor, and one of said lugs and bearing surfaces integral with the servomotor central hub and cooperating with an opposite one of said bearing surfaces and lugs integral with the stationary part of the vehicle.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
153 words
A brake servomotor assembly comprising a front half-shell and a rear half-shell and mounted on a stationary part of a vehicle by means of a lug/bearing surface attachment consisting of lugs arranged in a plane perpendicular to an axis of the servomotor and disposed around said axis to extend radially outwardly and cooperate with bearing surfaces with corresponding shapes and dimensions to effect mounting of the servomotor on the stationary part by means of axial engagement followed by rotation of the servomotor, elastic means arranged between the servomotor and stationary part, and a servomotor central hub at the rear half-shell and which extends axially and exteriorly of the rear half-shell, the hub including control valve means of the servomotor, and one of said lugs and bearing surfaces integral with the servomotor central hub and cooperating with an opposite one of said bearing surfaces and lugs integral with the stationary part of the vehicle.
