Abstract

An assembly of a master brake cylinder and an associated power cylinder of larger diameter, disposed in front of the dashboard, is held together under tension by a stirrup-shaped retainer with a bight embracing the free end of the master cylinder and two legs anchored to the dashboard, these legs traversing the power cylinder. A roll membrane inside the power cylinder, forming a flexible partition that divides its interior into two chambers between which a pressure difference is developed to operate the master cylinder, has cuffs attached to two guide tubes rigid with at least one wall of the power cylinder, these tubes being traversed by the retainer legs.
