Abstract
A hydro-pneumatic operating device for motor vehicle clutches permits shifting into second or higher gears without operation of the clutch pedal, by manipulation of an electric switch that actuates an electro-pneumatic valve. A cylinder block 31 is provided that houses a hydraulic working cylinder having a hydraulic piston of a hydro-pneumatic piston, and a pneumatic servo-valve unit whose path control is actuated by an external operating element which cooperates with a pneumatic servo-piston (14) of the hydro-pneumatic piston (20). On an end face of the pneumatic servo-piston (14) opposite a pneumatic servo-chamber (11) there is a supporting surface 19 whose countersurface 118 is formed on the pneumatic servo-piston (20a) of the hydro-pneumatic piston 20. The other side of pneumatic servo-piston 20a confines a blow-off chamber 22. A cylinder section 13 of a pneumatic working chamber 15 enclosed by the hydraulic pneumatic piston 20 and the pneumatic servo-piston 14 has a connection 66 for pressure medium. The hydro-pneumatic piston 20 has a duct 46 leading to blow-off chamber 22, which chamber 22 has a blow-off unit 47 discharging to the free atmosphere. An axial bore 51 leading to duct 46 has a shaft 50 with a longitudinal through channel 49 communicating with a blow-off chamber 119 of the path controlling servo-valve unit.
