Abstract
The brake pressure generator (1) includes a tandem master cylinder (2) actuable by two booster pistons (19, 32) to which a hydraulic auxiliary pressure is applied and by a pedal actuating mechanism (17,18). A control valve (14, 20) controls the auxiliary boost pressure. The control valve, through an actuator (16), cooperates with the pedal actuating mechanism (17,18). One booster piston (32) is disposed on the bottom of the tandem master cylinder (2) adjacent the push rod (22). Normally-open valve (37) closes when brake pressure exceeds boost pressure to trap fluid in chamber (34).
