Abstract
There is provided a brake-force distributor, wherein the normally controlled rear-axle brake circuit is no longer influenced by the distributor if the front-axle brake circuit has failed. This is achieved by arranging the valve seat at a sleeve held in the operating position by the front-axle brake pressure. In the event of failure of the front-axle brake circuit, the rear-axle braking pressure will displace the sleeve into a position in which the distributor is not allowed to close.
