Abstract:
A diverter valve for use in a vehicle having a power braking system operated by a pressure differential servomotor. The diverter valve directs air under pressure from an emission control pump to the servomotor in response to a signal generated upon actuation of the brake pedal to supply a first fluid under pressure which in conjunction with a second fluid creates the desired pressure differential in the servomotor.
Abstract:
An indicator for warning of low fluid level in a master cylinder reservoir having an electrical reed switch mounted horizontally in the wall of a fluid reservoir and connected to appropriate indicator circuitry for warning the vehicle operator of the low fluid condition. The reed switch is actuated by a permanent magnet encapsulated in a float whenever the fluid level becomes dangerously low.
