Abstract
A vacuum brake booster includes a housing provided with at least one pressure chamber, a movable wall dividing the pressure chamber into a front chamber connected to the vacuum source and a rear chamber selectively connected to the front chamber and atmospheric pressure, a power piston connected to the movable wall, an input member disposed in the power piston, and a valve mechanism. An output member outputs the forward movement force of the power piston by moving forwardly with forward movement of the power piston in response to the movement of the movable wall. An auxiliary movable wall is disposed in the front chamber and is movable in the forward and rearward directions. The auxiliary movable wall moves the output member through engagement with the output member. A partition member is disposed in the front chamber and defines an auxiliary chamber in the front chamber with the auxiliary movable wall. The rear chamber and the auxiliary chamber are adapted to be connected with each other.
