The piston of a master cylinder in the power train of a motor vehicle is made, at least in part, of a thermosetting plastic material and cooperates with one or more annular seals to ensure that a source of hydraulic fluid is communicatively connected with the chamber in the housing of the master cylinder when the piston is moved by one or more springs or otherwise in a sense to increase the volume of the chamber. When a pedal or another actuator causes the piston to expel pressurized fluid from the master cylinder into a slave cylinder, the seal or seals cooperates or cooperate with the housing and/or with the piston of the master cylinder to seal the source from the chamber of the master cylinder. The slave cylinder can actuate the friction clutch between the prime mover and the transmission in the power train of the motor vehicle. The piston of the master cylinder is reciprocable by or with a piston rod by way of a ball and socket joint wherein the ball of the piston rod is held against unintentional extraction from the socket of a connector forming part of or being anchored in the piston.

Hydraulic operating systems for clutches and the like

An hydraulic system that includes a master cylinder, a slave cylinder, a fluid conduit extending between the cylinders, and a pressure relief valve within the conduit between the cylinders. The pressure relief valve includes at least one port that is closed by an elastic member that overlies the port and that opens when fluid pressure acting through the port exceeds a predetermined level to cause the elastic member to open the port.

Hydraulic system

A liquid reservoir, particularly for use in an hydraulic system. The reservoir includes a container and a cover cap, and it is intended for containing an hydraulic pressure medium. A pressure equalization component is provided within the container for compensating for pressure differences between the interior of the container and the surrounding atmosphere, and a level compensation component is provided for compensating for changes in the volume of the pressure medium. The pressure equalization component is functionally separate from the level compensation component.
