Abstract
A hydraulic brake system for a vehicle includes first and second brake lines communicating with first and second rear wheel brakes, respectively, for supplying hydraulic fluid under pressure thereto and first and second valves arranged in the first and second brake lines, respectively. Each valve has a deceleration and acceleration responsive movable valve member controlling, as a function of its position, the flow of hydraulic liquid through the brake line with which the movable valve member is associated and a guide track guiding the associated movable valve member with a single degree of freedom of motion. Each guide track slopes downwardly towards the vehicle rear at an angle .alpha. with respect to a horizontal plane and further, each guide track inclines away from the longitudinal vehicle axis outwardly towards the vehicle rear in the direction of the associated rear wheel brake at an angle .beta. which a vertical projection of each guide track onto a horizontal plane defines with the vehicle axis.
