Abstract
A braking device having a flange (21) of master cylinder (2) secured to a pneumatic booster (1) by a nut (3) screwed onto a through-bolt (13) that extends through a front shell (111) and a rear shell (112). The through-bolt (13) has a threaded front end (131) and a shoulder (132) for holding a front wall (111) in alignment with the master cylinder (2). The nut (3) has a barrel engaged in a hole (211) in the flange (21) and is screwed onto the front end (131). A collar (32) on the nut (3) acts on the flange (21) to press the flange (21) against the front shell (111). The barrel (31) of the nut and shoulder (132) of the through-bolt (13) have first and second respective sections (S1, S2) which face each which engage the front shell (111) with the first section (S1) being larger than the second section (S2) such that the front shell (111) crumples on receipt of a impact force.
