Abstract
A hydraulic brake apparatus includes a master cylinder pressurizing brake fluid in a pressure chamber and outputting a hydraulic pressure to a wheel cylinder of a first brake circuit, and a pressure control valve controlling a hydraulic pressure of an auxiliary hydraulic pressure source outputting the controlled hydraulic pressure to a wheel cylinder of a second brake circuit, wherein a master cylinder piston includes a first passage which hydraulically connects the pressure chamber and a reservoir, and a switching valve which closes and opens the first passage, and wherein a throttle means and a check valve, which allows the brake fluid to travel only from the reservoir to the pressure chamber, are hydraulically provided in parallel with each other at the first passage at a position between the switching valve and the reservoir.
