Abstract
A vehicle load-sensing assembly for use with a vehicle fluid-pressure braking system comprises an input member subjected to a force in a road spring and a valve which has a movable valve member for controlling the flow of fluid through the valve. A thrust transmitting mechanism is located between the input member and the valve member. The thrust transmitting mechanism comprises relatively movable parts, and a camming device is disposed between the parts to transmit movement between the parts to control operation of the valve member.
Claims6
A vehicle load-sensing assembly for use with a vehicle fluid-pressure braking system comprising an input member subjected to a force in a road spring, a valve having a movable valve member for controlling the flow of fluid through said valve, and a thrust transmitting mechanism located between said input member and said valve member, wherein said thrust transmitting mechanism comprises a rotary operating plate acting on said input member, a relatively fixed reaction plate, camming means disposed between said operating plate and said reaction plate for translating axial movement of said input member into rotary movement of said operating plate and vice versa, and transmission means for transmitting rotary movement of said operating plate to said valve member to regulate the flow of fluid through said valve.
