Abstract:
A brake pressure control apparatus having a brake pressure master unit, a brake connected to the brake pressure master unit through a pressure line, a pressure-controlled inlet valve which is positioned in the pressure line and through which the brake pressure master unit is connected, in a first switching position, through a restrictor orifice to the brake and which is furnished with a control piston which in one direction is subject to the pressure in the pressure line and in the opposite direction is subject to the action of a spring and of the pressure in a return line which contains an outlet valve which is controllable by a control device, which blocks the return line in its position of rest and which releases the return line in its switching position. The inlet valve is provided with a valve element which interacts with the control piston and which, in the second switching position, blocks the pressure line and releases a valve seat formed by a longitudinal bore of the control piston making the brake pressure slave unit connectible to the return line.
Abstract:
A brake pressure control apparatus for automotive vehicles with an anti-locking control system (ABS) and/or with a traction slip control system (TSS) is presented. In the inlet line to the wheel cylinder an inlet valve is provided which affords a change-over from an orifice function into a flow limiting valve function at a predetermined wheel cylinder pressure. Flow is initially through an orifice (6) in a control slide valve piston (20), held in its initial position by a prestressing spring (23) acting through an auxiliary piston in engagement with control slide valve piston (20). An increase in pressure in the wheel cylinder (13), also exerted in the wheel cylinder pressure chamber (9), to a predetermined level, causes the auxiliary piston (27) to disengage from the control slide valve piston (20), preventing the force of the prestressing spring (23) from acting on the control slide valve piston (20). As a result, the control slide valve piston (20) is free to reach an equilibrium position corresponding to the magnitude of the remaining forces acting upon the piston (20 ). A control edge (33) on the piston (20) establishes a flow-cross-sectional area (34) which, upon the filling of the wheel cylinder (13), leads to a constant nominal flow rate within the lines (19, 11, 12) to the wheel cylinder (13).
Abstract:
A brake pad retention spring for spot-type disc brakes for automotive vehicles is disclosed including a fastening section for securing the spring to a brake pad backing plate and spring arms for engagement into a brake member, wherein two of the spring arms extend substantially in the circumferential direction in relation to the brake disc and a third spring arm extends substantially in the radial direction. The spring arms extending in the circumferential direction include U-shaped or V-shaped bent sections.
Abstract:
A method for closing channels containing pressure fluid in a housing, so that the dynamic load applied to the housing and the closing member during the pressing process is minimized. Thus a pressing force with a defined direction and entity acts discontinuously on the closing member, the latter realizes a discontinuous feed motion directed into the channel, acting only on the housing material at the recess of the closing member producing the form-lock to yield into the recess due to the discontinuous force impact on the closing member.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a brake system with anti-lock control and traction slip control having a master cylinder to which braking pressure can be applied by a brake pedal, which is furnished with pressure fluid by a pressure fluid reservoir, and which is connected to at least one brake cylinder of a driven wheel via at least one brake line; a low-pressure accumulator and a return-delivery pump for the anti-lock operation, as well as a supply pressure generating source with a limited fuel delivery for traction slip control which is arranged in the pressure fluid reservoir. The supply pressure generating source can be used for the rapid preliminary fill-up of the brake cylinder when the pump starts to operate, as well as for generating a supply pressure on the suction side of the pump.

The invention is distinguished in that precisely defined pressure gradients, a better adaptation to the volume accommodating curve of the wheel circuit and a better exploitation of the pump characteristic are achieved.
Abstract:
A radial piston pump is described with dual pistons which are slidingly accommodated within a bushing coupled end to end to a valve body. Automatically controlled suction and discharge valves for a pressure chamber are arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal axis of the pump. The pistons are sealed by means of elastomeric seals compressed by an end of the valve body and bushing under pressure of a threaded sealing plug installed in the pump housing. The valves, valve body and bushing form a cartridge separately assembled and installed as a unit in the housing. The threaded sealing plug is formed with a damping chamber for damping of pressure pulsations.
Abstract:
A brake pressure control for use with an automotive anti-locking control system (ABS) and/or a traction slip control system (ARS) is provided. The control comprises a pressure modulator for varying the hydraulic pressure in the wheel cylinder (13) during the brake pressure control mode, with the pressure modulator exhibiting at least one inlet valve and at least one outlet valve (21) associated with the wheel cylinder (13), at least one motor-driven pump (6) for generating a hydraulic pressure, and an electronic controller. The inlet valve is pressure actuated and comprises a piston-cylinder assembly including a piston (7) forcing, upon application of the brake pressure, a filling volume (14) into the wheel cylinder (13), followed by a throttled rise in pressure caused by a throttling flow restriction (16) defined through the piston.
Abstract:
A brake pad retention spring for spot-type disc brakes for automotive vehicles is disclosed including a fastening section for securing the spring to a pad backing plate and three spring arms for engagement into a brake member such as a brake piston wherein two of the spring arms extend substantially in a circumferential direction relative to the brake disc and the third spring arm extends substantially in a radial direction. In order to permit radial pad replacement with comparatively thin pads with the housing in its mounted position, the invention provides for the radial spring arm to have a bent section extending substantially parallel to the backing plate and having an adjacent end section extending substantially radially.
