Abstract

A tandem diaphragm brake booster includes first and second diaphragms disposed in a housing and a pair of diaphragm pistons which are axially movable for assisting braking efforts through manual operation. The two diaphragm pistons are connected to each other by a key member which also serves to prevent an air valve from accidentally returning.
