Abstract
Servo-assisted hydraulic braking system of the type in which brake pedal pressure is reinforced by a pressure dependent thereon and fed to a master cylinder driving piston by a distributor device which is fed with fluid under pressure from a pressure source and control pressure from control chambers defined by plungers within the master cylinder itself, which plungers are displaced directly or indirectly by the displacement of the driving piston of the master cylinder. The distributor plungers are balanced so that for a given brake pedal pressure they feed through a certain reinforcing pressure and then close off the driving piston chamber from the pressure source, locking in the reinforcing pressure so far applied, so that variations in the pressure generated by the pressure generating device are not fed back to the brake pedal via the driving piston of the master cylinder.
