Abstract

A pair of spaced apart large-diameter and small-diameter lands between which a fluid chamber is defined are formed on a second piston in a tandem cylinder to which an anti-skid device is added. Booster pressure is applied to the fluid chamber to act on the large-diameter land in a manner fluidly locking the second piston against movement despite a reduction in pressure in the first and second pressure chambers during operation of the anti-skid device. As a result, the movement of the brake pedal in the normal direction of depression is prevented when the anti-skid devices operates.
