Abstract
The control assembly for a hydraulic circuit of a vehicle having an engine compartment and a passenger compartment which are separated by an apron (22) comprises: PA0 a vacuum booster (16) having one axis (18) and including: PA1 an actuating rod (20) projecting into the passenger compartment; PA1 a shell (14) which is intended to be fastened by its periphery to the apron (22) in the engine compartment and to which a master cylinder (10) is fastened; and PA1 a cover (26) closing the shell and bearing circumferentially on the apron (22) in the engine compartment, PA0 a pedal unit for actuating the booster, including at least one pedal (30) mounted on a lever (32), the pivot (34) of which is retained by a bearing piece (36) fixed to the cover. The projection of the pivot (34) in the plane of fastening of the assembly to the apron (22) is located within the perimeter of the orifice of the apron, so as to transmit substantially the entirety of the force exerted by the lever (32) on the pivot (34) in a direction substantially parallel to the axis (18) of the booster (16) in order to oppose the tearing force generated between the assembly and the apron (22) during the actuation of the ped…
