Abstract

The invention relates to a brake-booster comprising a casing (10) within which is found a piston structure which, with the help of an unrolling membrane (12), defines a front chamber (16) permanently connected to a partial vacuum source by a valve (17) and a back chamber (16) selectively connected to the front chamber (16) or to the atmosphere via a valve means (34) when a control rod (30) is actuated, and a device (36) for fastening the booster on a wall (38) adjacent to a first face of the casing (10). According to the invention, apertures (50, 60) are made in the piston structure (14) and in a second face of the casing (10) and are aligned in the axial direction of the booster so as to permit the actuation of the fastening device (36) through the aperture (60) made in the second face of the casing (10).
