Abstract
A braking device having a pneumatic booster (2) having a rigid casing (3) defined by a front shell (31) and a rear shell (32). The interior of the rigid casing (3) being separated into a front chanber (33) and a rear chamber (34) by a movable partition (5). The booster (2) is reinforced by a strut (4) with a screw (40) which passes through the front shell (31), movable partition (5) and rear shell (32). The screw (40) has front end (41) and a rear end (42) separated from an intermediate cylindrical section (43). A sleeve (7) which extends from the rear shell (32) receives the second end (42) of the screw (40) and allows the screw (40) to axially slide with respect to the rear shell (32). A stop (61) on the intermediate section (43) prevents the second end (42) from projecting from the rear shell (32) until the first end (41) is rotated into engages the front shell (31) and threads on the second end engage corresponding threads on a support (1) to fix the booster (2) to the support (1).
