Abstract
A brake master cylinder which prevents a contact between a projection of a spring retainer and a stopper of a sleeve when a piston is suddenly retracted by an operation of a pressure applying device of a brake system or by an air relieving operation to offer a high reliability without deformation and damages of the spring retainer and the sleeve. A groove extended in axial direction is provided on the sleeve. A distance between a rear end surface of the groove and a radial projection of a first spring retainer when the brake is not applied corresponds to the total of a distance of a retracting distance of a second piston from the position defined by the non-braking operation to a position where a piston port and an opening of a reservoir communication conduit are overlapped and a predetermined additional distance.
