Abstract
A master cylinder includes a cylinder body which an operating fluid is introduced from a reservoir, a piston which is slidably fitted in the cylinder body and defines a pressure chamber inside the cylinder body, a supply pathway which is formed in the cylinder body and supplies the operating fluid from the reservoir to the pressure chamber, a bypass pathway which bypasses the supply pathway and allows the reservoir to communicate with the pressure chamber, and a check valve which is installed in the bypass pathway and opens a valve when the pressure inside the pressure chamber is lower than the pressure of the reservoir.
