A negative-pressure-type booster includes: a booster shell attached to a support member of a vehicle; a front shell and a rear shell which constitute the booster shell; and, at the four corners of a flat part of the rear shell, linking bolts having affixed thereto protruding parts that each protrude rearward from the flat part, the protruding parts being passed through continuous connecting holes in the support member, the negative-pressure-type booster characterized in that the linking bolts are composed of upper linking bolts arranged to the upper side of the center axis of the booster shell and lower linking bolts arranged to the lower side of the center axis of the booster shell, the protruding part of either of the upper linking bolts extending farther rearward than the protruding part of the other upper linking bolt and the respective protruding parts of the lower linking bolts.

Negative-pressure-type booster

A vacuum booster which moderates a retraction speed of a valve seat member to restrain a contact noise between a key member retracting in a unitary manner with the valve seat member and a flange surface of a plunger. The vacuum booster includes a noise restriction device.

Vacuum booster

A negative pressure type booster includes a power piston, a slide valve, and a holding mechanism, among others, and assists a driver during emergency braking. The holding mechanism is adapted to hold the slide valve at a predetermined frontward position, and includes a latch member that is mounted to the power piston in such a manner as to be linearly movable in a radial direction, and a garter spring for biasing the latch member radially inward. The latch member has a hook that can be engaged with and disengaged from a hook provided on the slide valve. When a plunger moves frontward relative to the power piston by a quantity greater than a predetermined value, a push slope provided on the plunger pushes a passive slope provided on the latch member radially outward, whereby the hook of the latch member is disengaged from the hook of the slide valve.

Negative pressure type booster

A negative pressure type brake hydraulic pressure generating device is proposed in which the stroke on the operating side can be set independently of the stroke on the output side. A slide resistance imparting means is provided between the fixed shell and a piston having a built-in control valve introducing atmospheric air to cancel the slide resistance which is the cause of increased stroke hysteresis of the piston, i.e. the slide resistance applied to the piston at airtight seal portions between the power plate and the piston.
