Abstract
A vacuum-operated brake booster comprises an axially movable power piston and a plunger axially movable in a cavity of the power piston. A valve disposed within the cavity cooperates with seats on the plunger and power piston to regulate pressure in a variable pressure chamber. A key serves as a stop to limit travel of the power piston and plunger. The key includes a base portion and a pair of parallel legs which extend into a radial hole of the power piston. The legs straddle and press against the plunger. Elastic retainers are snap-fit onto the ends of the key member. The elastic retainers are wider than the radial hole to retain the key in the hole.
