A master brake cylinder (2) communicates with wheel brakes through brake conduits (8, 9). Pumps (20, 21) deliver fluid to the brake conduits (8, 9) through pressure conduits (22, 23). Upon commencement of an anti-lock control, the pump drive M is turned on and check valve (26) in the brake conduit is blocked. In conventional systems, the check valve could, during a control operation, open upon an increased pressure fluid requirement of the wheel brakes. Use of a diaphragm in the pressure conduit (22) insures that the dynamic pressure in the chamber (37) will hold the switch piston (28) in all circumstances in a displaced position so that the valve ball (45) blocks the valve passage (46), and the brake conduit (8) is interrupted.

Anti-locking hydraulic brake system

A cruise control device for automotive vehicles is disclosed including an actual speed sensor which actuates, by way of a control circuit, the throttle valve of the vehicle motor for keeping the vehicle speed constant. The accelerator pedal can be overridden by a hydraulic control element. A piston rod is arranged inside a stepped piston in an axial through bore and is connected to the throttle valve. The piston rod can be coupled through a ball-type locking mechanism with the stepped piston which is pressurized by the control circuit in such a way that the piston rod is driven by the stepped piston and displaces the throttle valve in an opening direction against the force acting upon the accelerator pedal.

Cruise control device for automotive vehicles

A traction slip control device for motor vehicles is disclosed including a sensor responding to a beginning slip of the driving wheels. The sensor operates via a control circuitry, the accelerator pedal-operated throttle valve at the vehicle engine, in a manner for reduction of the engine's driving power. The accelerator pedal is overriden by means of a hydraulic control element connected in. Parallel to the accelerator pedal is a piston rod arranged in a bore within a stepped piston associated with the hydraulic control element. The piston rod is, via a ball lock, adapted to be axially coupled with the stepped piston such that the piston rod is entrained by the stepped piston and shifts the throttle valve in the direction of closure in opposition to the force acting upon the accelerator pedal.
