Abstract
A brake system of the present invention comprises a brake operating means such as a brake pedal for carrying braking operation, a fluid variable stroke means which variably controls the stroke of the brake operating means by using fluid, and a braking force output means which is actuated by the operation of the brake operating means to produce braking forces. By manipulating the brake operating means , the braking force output means performs the braking operation. The traveling rang of the brake operating means i.e. the stroke can be changed variously by the fluid variable stroke means using fluid. Since the stroke of the brake pedal can be changed as mentioned above, a proper pedal stroke can be obtained.
