A separable pipe joint has two pipe segments that can be inserted one into the another, a gasket-seal arranged between the pipe segments, and a collet which is arranged so as to be adjustable between a separated position and a clamped position, and which is provided with latching means for axially fixing the pipe segments. To indicate a wear-resistant separable pipe joint, which permits a variable assembly of pipe segments adjoining each other, provision is made that as latching means for fixing at least two axially spaced latching members, radially extending to the inside, are arranged on the collet, the latching members in the clamped position of the collet gripping from behind, in each case, a radially elevated clamping step on the external surface of each pipe segment.

A brake pressure control device for a road vehicle with a hydraulic brake system has a pneumatic braking force amplifier which is provided with a switch-over device which switches ever the braking force amplifier to operation with increased amplification factor when the speed with which the driver actuates the brake pedal exceeds a threshold value .phi..sub.s. In the axial force transmission train leading from the brake pedal via a reaction piston of the control part, via a reaction element and via the actuating piston of the braking force amplifier to the main cylinder. A rigid force transmission element is in mechanical parallel connection to a flexible transmission element and associated with which there is a position engaged in the force transmission train as the basic position for the judicious braking operation, and an actuation device, which responds when the threshold value .phi..sub.s of the pedal actuation speed is exceeded and then disengages the distance piece from its supporting position.

A brake-pressure control device for a road vehicle with a hydraulic brake system has a pneumatic brake booster provided with a change-over device which changes over the brake booster to a mode with an increased boost factor when the speed with which the driver actuates the brake pedal exceeds a threshold value. A reaction piston of the axial force-transmission train, leading from the brake pedal via the reaction piston, a flexible reaction element and the driving piston of the brake booster to the master cylinder, is constructed in two parts. One of the two part-pistons engages axially on the reaction element and the other of the part-pistons acts as a valve element of the inlet valve and via which the driving chamber of the brake booster can be exposed to the ambient pressure. The two part-pistons have complementary threads which engage one another. The pedal-side part-piston can be driven by a device on an electric motor with the effect of shortening the total length of the reaction piston and is activated in the direction of rotation when the actuating speed of the brake pedal is higher than the threshold value.
