A braking system for a vehicle having two pairs of wheels, has two master cylinders operating as pumps, wherein each master cylinder is operated by its own brake pedal and controls the braking on one rear wheel, as well as on the front wheels through a valve for the disconnection of the front vehicle braking. Each master cylinder is of the tandem type including two sections, the first section controlling the braking of the front wheels through the valve, whereas the second section controls the braking of that rear wheel, being a part of the pair of rear wheels, which is associated with the master cylinder. The first sections of both master cylinders are supplied by a first oil reservoir and the second sections of both master cylinders are supplied by a second oil reservoir at least partially independent from the first oil reservoir.
A braking system for a vehicle having two pairs of wheels (RAS,RAD;
A braking system as set forth in claim 1, characterized in that said first and second oil reservoirs (S1,S2) are constructively formed by two sections (S1,S2) of a single reservoir (S), mutually separated only in the bottom portion of the reservoir (S).
A braking system as set forth in claim 1, characterized in that it comprises two separate balancing valves (VBA,VBP), the one (VBA) inserted between the hydraulic braking control circuits of the front wheels (RAS,RAD), and the other (VBP) inserted between the hydraulic braking control circuits of the rear wheels RPS,RPD).
A braking system as set forth in claim 3, characterized in that said balancing valves (VBA,VBP;
A braking system for a vehicle, having a safety function, characterized by the features, arrangements and operation, as they appear from the above specification and appended drawings, or replaced by technically equivalent means, taken in their whole, in their various combinations or separately.
