Abstract
The present invention mainly relates to an improved-safety braking device, intended for reducing the injury risks concerning the driver, owing to the brake pedal if a collision happens, in particular a front impact and, more particularly, the invention deals with an electrohydraulic braking device having a variable hydraulic reaction. A braking device according to the present invention comprises a master cylinder () fitted with a pedal-feeling simulation cartridge (), said master cylinder () being actuated by an actuating rod () connected to a brake pedal (), said cartridge () comprising a resilient means () and compression means () for the resilient means (). These compression means () can be actuated by a computer () on the detection of an injury risk concerning the driver's legs, so as to reduce the compression rate of the resilient means ().
