Abstract
A pneumatic booster includes a housing, a power piston and flexible diaphragm assembly partitioning the interior of the housing into two chambers, a poppet valve mechanism for selectively connecting or disconnecting communication between the two chambers and disconnecting or connecting communication between one of the chambers and a reference pressure, an input rod for actuating the poppet valve mechanism and an output rod connected to the power piston. The poppet valve mechanism includes a plunger connected to the inner end of the input rod, a valve member, a valve body having an axial bore therein for slidably receiving the plunger, and a restricting member mounted on the plunger for restricting the relative axial displacement of the plunger and the valve body. A resilient member is interposed between the restricting member and the valve body to avoid impacting abutment between the restricting member and the valve body.
