20090212621 | Electrohydraulic Braking System Comprising Vehicle Dynamics Control - An electrohydraulic brake system with driving dynamics control comprising a master cylinder that is operable by a brake pedal and includes at least one piston, which is displaceably arranged in a housing of the master cylinder and delimits a hydraulic pressure chamber together with the housing, the pressure chamber being connectable to an unpressurized pressure fluid reservoir by way of a pressure fluid reservoir connection and a pressure fluid channel and to wheel brakes to by way of an outlet, with a pressure fluid supply device supplying pressure fluid from the pressure fluid reservoir in the direction of the wheel brakes in the case of driving dynamics control. | 08-27-2009 |
20100200342 | BRAKE SYSTEM OF THE BRAKE-BY-WIRE TYPE - A brake system of the brake-by-wire (BBW) type for a vehicle having a brake pressure signal generator which can be activated by a brake pedal and can be connected to wheel brakes outside the BBW operating mode, having a pressure source which can be actuated by an electronic control unit and can be connected to the brakes of the vehicle in the BBW operating mode, having provisions for sensing a driver's deceleration request and having a pedal travel simulator which interacts with the brake pedal. A restoring force acting on the brake pedal can be simulated in the BBW operating mode independently of the actuating of the pressure source, and having a device which can be actuated by the electronic control unit and which permits activation of the pedal travel simulator in the BBW operating mode and deactivation of the pedal travel simulator outside the BBW operating mode. | 08-12-2010 |
20100251848 | SERVO BRAKE - A brake booster for a motor vehicle brake system of the “brake-by-wire” type, which can be activated, on the one hand, by a brake pedal and, on the other hand, as a function of a driver's request, as well as independently of the driver's will by an electronic control unit, wherein the coupling of the brake pedal to an input element of the brake booster is embodied by a piston rod head provided with longitudinal guide openings, in such a way that a limited relative movement of the brake pedal is possible with respect to the input element, as a result of which, in particular in the “brake-by-wire” operating mode, decoupling of the force-transmitting connection between the brake pedal and the input element is ensured. | 10-07-2010 |
20120102942 | BRAKE ACTUATION UNIT FOR ACTUATING A MOTOR VEHICLE BRAKE SYSTEM - A brake actuation unit for actuating a motor vehicle brake system of the “Brake-by-wire” type, has a brake booster which can be actuated both by a brake pedal and by an electronic control unit as a function of a driver's request and has a piston rod. A mechanism is provided for decoupling a force-transmitting connection between the brake pedal and a brake booster in the “Brake-by-wire” operating mode. A distance ‘a’ is provided in order to decouple the brake pedal in the “Brake-by-wire” operating mode from reaction forces of the motor vehicle brake system. A securing element, which has a funnel-shaped receptacle oriented in the direction of the piston rod, is attached to the brake pedal to guide an end of the piston rod. | 05-03-2012 |

20120007419 | "BRAKE-BY-WIRE" TYPE BRAKE SYSTEM - A “brake-by-wire” type brake system for a motor vehicle, having a brake pressure sensor which can be activated by a brake pedal of a pedal unit and can be connected to wheel brakes of the vehicle outside the “brake-by-wire” operating mode, having a pressure source which can be actuated by an electronic control unit and can be connected to the wheel brakes of the vehicle in the “brake-by-wire” operating mode, and having a pedal travel simulator which interacts with the brake pedal and is formed by at least one simulator element, and a restoring force which acts on the brake pedal independently of the actuation of the pressure source can be simulated in the “brake-by-wire” operating mode. In order to provide a simpler and more cost-effective “brake-by-wire” type brake system, a force/travel characteristic of the pedal travel simulator is provided in a controllable fashion. | 01-12-2012 |
20120117961 | BRAKE ACTUATOR UNIT FOR ACTUATING A MOTOR VEHICLE BRAKING SYSTEM OF THE "BRAKE-BY-WIRE" TYPE - A brake actuator unit for actuating a motor vehicle braking system of the “brake-by-wire” type, having a brake booster which can be actuated by a brake pedal and by an electronic control unit as a function of a driver's request and has a piston rod, a master brake cylinder arranged downstream of the brake booster, and a pedal travel simulator which interacts with the brake pedal and is arranged in parallel with the piston rod and by which, in the “brake-by-wire” mode, a restoring force acting on the brake pedal can be simulated independently of actuation of the brake booster. In order to decouple a force-transmitting connection between the brake pedal and the brake booster in the “brake-by-wire” mode, a distance ‘a’ is provided between the brake pedal and a component arranged downstream in the force flux and assigned to the brake booster. | 05-17-2012 |
20120186246 | MASTER CYLINDER IN PARTICULAR FOR A CONTROLLED MOTOR VEHICLE BRAKE SYSTEM - The invention relates to a master cylinder, in particular for a controlled motor vehicle brake system, including a first and a second piston which is displaceable in a housing and has a captive spring, a first end of the spring bearing at least indirectly against the piston and a second end thereof against a sleeve which is displaceable with respect to the piston and the movement of which with respect to the piston is limited by a pin provided on the piston and by a stop washer, the stop washer being arranged on a free end of the pin. In order to avoid impact noise upon rapid release of the brake, the stop washer of the first piston has a device for the damped abutment of the sleeve. | 07-26-2012 |
20130213033 | MASTER CYLINDER FOR A REGULATED BRAKING SYSTEM - A master cylinder for a regulated braking system having at least one piston, which is movable in a housing and which is sealed from a pressure chamber by a sealing element arranged in a ring groove of the housing, which can be connected to an unpressurized supply chamber by control passages designed in the pistons. In order to reduce the flow resistance of the control passages at the same dead stroke, the control passages have a control edge designed parallel to a piston end face of at least one of the pistons. | 08-22-2013 |
20140150420 | MASTER CYLINDER, IN PARTICULAR FOR A CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM - A master cylinder for a controlled brake system, including at least one piston which is displaceable in a housing and is sealed with respect to a pressure chamber by a sealing element arranged in an annular groove of the housing, which pressure chamber is connectable to an unpressurized supply chamber by control passages formed in the piston.
