A vehicle braking assembly comprising a master cylinder () with no central valves, a brake fluid reservoir () mounted separately from the master cylinder (), pumps () for pressurizing the brake fluid and first solenoid valves () in pipes () connecting the brake fluid reservoir () to the inlets of the pumps (). According to the invention, a calibrated orifice () and a nonreturn valve () which are connected in parallel are mounted in these pipes ().

Motor vehicle braking assembly

A braking device for a motor vehicle having a first brake circuit () with a master cylinder () controlled by a brake pedal (), a second brake circuit () with at least one pump () that is controlled by a computer (C), and a pedal travel simulation mechanism (). The simulation mechanism () includes a solenoid valve () that is mounted in a pipe () connected to a hydraulic fluid storage chamber () and controlled by the computer (C) so as to allow the brake fluid to flow toward the chamber () when the second brake circuit () is active and when the driver presses on the brake pedal. The pipe () is also connected to another pipe () in which hydraulic fluid is displaced by a first part () of a control rod connected to the brake pedal () and second part () associated with the master cylinder ().
