摘要： A brake booster includes a housing, a partition adapted to divide the interior of the housing into two chambers, and two diaphragms adapted to divide the two chambers into constant and variable pressure chambers. A control valve includes a valve body carried by the diaphragms, and a plunger slidably received in the valve body. The control valve is operatively connected to the variable pressure chambers to develop a pressure differential across the diaphragms to cause the diaphragms to move in response to actuation of an input rod. A reaction disk is disposed between an output rod and the valve body to transmit the reaction of movement of the output rod to the input rod. An adjusting mechanism is disposed between the plunger and the reaction disk and compressible so as to develop a greater degree of pressure differential when a force applied by the input rod exceeds a predetermined level. The reaction disk is caused to make contact with the contact disk and held out of contact with the spring and the plunger when the plunger is actuated.

摘要： A plunger moved with an input shaft is movably fitted in an axial bore of a valve body made of resin, and a valve mechanism selectively establishes and cuts off communication in a negative pressure passage and an atmosphere passage formed in the valve body according to the movement of the plunger. Also, a pair of radial holes formed to have a circular cross section are provided in the valve body by drilling work, and a plate type stop key formed in a fork shape having two claw branches is mounted by loosely inserting the branches in the radial holes. The stop key limits a movement range of the plunger. Also, a guide portion is formed on an outer circumference of the valve body to guide side surfaces of the stop key. The movement of the stop key is restricted by the guide portion and a step formed in the axial bore of the valve body. Therefore, a smooth operation of the pneumatic booster can be guaranteed.

摘要： A pneumatic booster includes a valve mechanism for introducing atmospheric air into a variable-pressure chamber in accordance with the movement of a plunger, propelling a power piston due to differential pressure generated between the variable-pressure chamber and a constant-pressure chamber and transmitting force by which the power piston is propelled through a valve body to an output shaft. The valve mechanism includes a poppet valve mechanism including a seal surface capable of abutting against an annular atmospheric valve seat formed in the plunger and a seal surface capable of abutting against an annular negative pressure valve seat formed on an inner surface of the valve body. The annular atmospheric valve seat of the plunger is located in a position forward in a direction of propelling of the power piston relative to the negative pressure valve seat and is substantially aligned with the negative pressure valve seat in an axial direction. The poppet valve mechanism has a main poppet valve including the seal surface capable of abutting against the negative pressure valve seat and a sub poppet valve including the seal surface capable of abutting against the atmospheric valve seat. The seal surface of the sub poppet valve is spaced apart in the axial direction from the seal surface of the main poppet valve.

The diaphragm of the front power piston has a bead on an inner periphery thereof. The valve body has a groove on an outer periphery thereof. A portion of the air passage which leads to the front working pressure chamber has a main passage portion extending axially in the valve body, and a bypass extending radially outward from the main passage portion. A communicating port leading to the front working pressure chamber extends axially from the bypass. The bypass opens into the groove, and the radially outer end of the bypass is sealed with the bead.

The booster comprises a valve body which is movable back and forth between first and second positions in a housing that is divided by a diaphragm with a power piston into front and rear chambers communicated with respective pressure sources, a valve which allows at least one of the front and rear chambers to selectively communicate with the pressure sources which differ from each other in the level of pressure, and a guide which slidably fits on the outer periphery of the valve body. The valve body has a passage one end of which opens on the outer periphery thereof to connect one of the front and rear chambers to the associated pressure source, the opening of the passage being positioned in the axial direction of the valve body so that the guide overlaps the opening when the valve body is at either the first or second position. The guide has a guide member and a seal member. The guide member has a plurality of axial grooves provided in the inner periphery thereof at predetermined spacings in the circumferential direction so that the passage communicates with the one chamber through the grooves when the valve body is at either the first or second position where the guide overlaps the opening.

摘要： A pneumatic booster has a housing which includes a forward shell and a rearward shell, and a diaphragm which is installed inside the housing and secured at the outer peripheral portion thereof to the housing. The diaphragm has a bead formed on the outer peripheral portion thereof. The rearward shell has a bead retaining portion which has a bead retaining groove that opens radially outward. The forward shell has an outer peripheral portion. The bead is received into the bead retaining groove across one edge portion of the bead retaining groove and clamped between the groove and the outer peripheral portion of the forward shell. The dimensions of the bead and the bead retaining portion are set so that the inner diameter of the bead is greater than the outer diameter of the edge portion of the bead retaining groove. Thus, the rearward shell and the diaphragm can be assembled together without the need to bend the diaphragm in advance, and the assembly process is correspondingly facilitated.
