Abstract
The present invention relates to an electronically controlled brake force distributor for automotive vehicles, which includes a pedal-operated braking pressure generator (,) to which wheel brakes (HL, VR, HR, HL) are connected by way of pressure fluid lines. At least one valve (,) is inserted into the pressure fluid lines and positioned in the pressure fluid conduit to the rear-wheel brakes. An actuator (,) is provided to actuate the valve (,) and, as a function of the vehicle deceleration, switches the valve (,) from a first into a second position in which the valve (,) is switched from its open initial position to a position separating the rear-wheel brake (HR; HL) hydraulically from the braking pressure generator (,). In this separating position, the rear-wheel brake (HR; HL) is hydraulically connected exclusively to an accumulator chamber (,) associated with the actuator (,).
