ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is disclosed for employing the compression cycle of a four-cycle internal combustion engine as means for achieving braking of a vehicle driven by said engine. The invention relates to an improved hydraulically activated relief brake utilizing an exhaust valve associated with each cylinder of the engine. An unsprung hydraulic sleeve valve is provided to advantageously maintain each exhaust valve in a slightly open position during application of the brake, thus reducing the force required to open the exhaust valve during the compression cycle of the engine.
