Abstract
A brake master cylinder, having a body, with an attached brake booster which includes first and second pneumatic pressure chambers provided in a booster housing, a power piston defining the first and second chamber therebetween, a first valve mechanism provided within the power piston and generating a pressure difference between the first and second chambers in response to the operation of an associated brake pedal, first and second hydraulic pressure chambers provided in the master cylinder body, a primary piston disposed in the first hydraulic pressure chamber operably connected to the power piston, a first passage member communicating the second hydraulic pressure chamber with a brake wheel cylinder, a second passage member communicating the first hydraulic pressure chamber with a reservoir, a second valve mechanism controlling the communication between the second passage member and the reservoir upon slidable movement with the primary piston, a third valve mechanism provided within the primary piston and including a pressure relief member, the third valve mechanism controlling communication between the reservoir and the first hydraulic pressure chamber through the pressure relief passage member and a resilient member disposed within the primary piston for controlling opening and closing of the third valve mechanism by generating internal pressure therein in response to operation of the brake pedal.
