Abstract
A hydraulic brake system for automotive vehicles with a master brake cylinder (1) connected to an unpressurized reservoir and with a brake line (13, 14) connected to a working chamber (4, 5) of the master brake cylinder and leading to pressure control valves of a brake slip control device (40). The pressure control valves are followed by at least one wheel brake (18, 19) with the working chamber (4, 5) of the master brake cylinder (1) being connectable to a pressure medium source (29) upon the start of the brake slip control device. To ensure that in brake systems of different vehicle types, the wheel brakes of which have clearances differing in size, the same master brake cylinder can be used without the master brake cylinder having an undesired long pedal travel and thus a great overall length. This is achieved in that, upon the onset of the application of the brake pedal (3), a pressure medium amount coordinated with the clearance of the brakes can be suppled from the pressure medium source (29) to the brake cylinders of the wheel brakes (18, 19).
