Abstract
In a control valve assembly for a vehicle dual hydraulic braking system separate brake-applying valves in a common body are operable independently or simultaneously to cause hydraulic fluid from a distributor chamber to be supplied to one or both of a pair of outlets for connection to brakes on wheels on opposite sides of the vehicle. Each brake-applying valve comprises a valve member which is urged into engagement with a seating surrounding a respective outlet by means of a spring. An operating member for moving the valve member away from the seating in a brake applying direction is coupled to a respective brake pedal, and the operating member is also coupled to the valve member through a lost-motion connection.
