Braking apparatus for vehicle

A braking apparatus for a vehicle comprising:

• a hydraulic braking pressure control apparatus disposed on a metallic base, the hydraulic braking pressure control apparatus including:
• a control valve unit for switching among a state where hydraulic passages to access a master cylinder are communicated with wheel brakes while the wheel brakes are interrupted from reservoirs, a state where the hydraulic passages are interrupted from the wheel brakes while the wheel brakes are communicated with the reservoirs, and a state where the wheel brakes are interrupted from the hydraulic passages and the reservoirs;
• pumps for discharging a brake fluid reserved in the reservoir to the hydraulic passages;
• suction valves provided between the master cylinder and the suction port of the pumps;
• and
• regulators normally communicated the master cylinder with the hydraulic passages as well as interrupt the master cylinder from the hydraulic passages when the suction valves are open and letting the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic passages escape into the master cylinder as the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic passages exceeds a predetermined value;
• wherein the suction valves are disposed on the base in positions closer to the suction port of the pumps than the control valve units and the regulators.
