Abstract
A pneumatic brake booster of the tandem type for the brake boosting of motor vehicles, comprises a movable hub (15) driving a push rod (11) by of a reaction disk (17), a closed containment composed of a front shell (1) on the same side as the master cylinder and of a rear shell (3) on the same side as the actuating pedal, which define a front chamber and a rear chamber separated by a separating element (5) having an annular partition (9), and a front piston (25) and a rear piston (35) respectively arranged coaxially in the front and rear chambers. These chambers are themselves respectively divided by a sealing diaphragm (27, 37) fixed to each of the pistons (25, 35), in order to define, within each of these, a sub-chamber of constant pressure (21, 31) and a sub-chamber of variable pressure (23, 33), the pistons (25, 35) being movable in the axial direction under the effect of the differences in the pressures prevailing between the sub-chambers of each chamber. The annual partition (9) of the separating element (5) is simply put in place and bears on the bottom of the rear shell (3) of the containment, and the pistons (25, 35) are fixed to one another and to the movable hub (15).
