Abstract

See full text

A booster device for reducing the pedal force required to release the clutch on automotive vehicles. It is capable of either replacing the conventional clutch master cylinder (FIG. 4) or acting as an additional slave and master cylinder (FIGS. 1 to 3). An overcenter mechanism acts on the piston 4 intermediate its end to assist movement in opposite directions beyond a central point. To avoid unbalanced side loads, the overcenter mechanism includes two radially opposed spring (8) biased arms (5) the inner ends of which bear in cup-shaped recesses (6A) on opposite sides of a plug (6) sliding in a transverse bore through the piston (4).
