Abstract

A device for varying the proportion of brake pressure delivered to the front and rear brakes of a vehicle, and including a differential area piston for decreasing the proportion delivered to the rear brakes between the first and second inlet pressures, and an additional valve assembly actuatable in response to a predetermined pressure differential between the fluid pressure delivered to the piston and the fluid pressure delivered thereby to the rear brakes so as to establish a decreasing pressure differential between the pressure delivered to the front and rear brakes.
