Title: Portless type master cylinder device with intake valve and flow resisting means between pressure chamber and reservoir chamber

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7047611

A portless type master cylinder device is described for optionally transferring a hydraulic liquid between a reservoir for the hydraulic fluid and a hydraulic actuator, comprising: a piston body formed with a cylinder bore; a piston member slidably fitted in the cylinder bore so as to define a pressure chamber on a first axial side thereof and a reservoir connection chamber on a second axial side thereof opposite to the first axial side and to be axially moveable away from a determinate initial axial position thereof in a first direction oriented from the reservoir connection chamber toward the pressure chamber and back to the initial axial position in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and reservoir connection chamber being constantly in free communication with the reservoir; a stop means for restraining the piston member from moving beyond the initial axial position in the second direction; and an intake valve incorporated in the piston member and adapted to be actuated by the stop means when and only when the piston member is within a close vicinity of the initial axial position so as to open a substantially throttled passage communicating the pressure chamber with the reservoir connection chamber, the passage being so throttled as to dynamically hold a normal actuating pressure for the hydraulic actuator in the pressure chamber.
