Abstract
A brake apparatus improved in mountability on a vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes a master cylinderthat generates hydraulic brake pressure by a driver's brake operation, and a stroke simulatorthat creates an artificial operation reaction force of a brake operation member when the brake fluid flown out of the master cylinderenters the stroke simulator. The master cylinderand the stroke simulatorare integrally arranged to overlap each other in a perpendicular direction (as viewed from the perpendicular direction) when installed in the vehicle.
