Abstract

See full text

A vacuum brake booster comprising a vacuum chamber (16) and a working chamber (18), separated by a movable wall (14) coupled to a housing (22). A control valve (20) includes a first valve seat (40) formed on a displacement valve member (38) and cooperating with a first valve seat member (42), to control a supply of atmospheric pressure to the working chamber. A rear side of the valve member is constantly subjected to pressure in the working chamber. When the valve member is displaced more than a predetermined distance in the actuating direction relative to the housing, a front side of the valve member is subjected to pressure in the vacuum chamber, such that a differential pressure acts on the valve member, to hold the valve member in a displaced position until pressure equalization between the first and rear sides of the valve member is effected.
