ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for controlling an hydraulic braking system for an automotive vehicle is operated to apply a reduced braking force upon the innermost wheels of the vehicle during turning thereof in order to prevent undesired locking of the inside wheels. The apparatus comprises a pressure reducing valve connected in the hydraulic brake line extending from a master cylinder to the wheel cylinders of the left and right wheels of the vehicle and a directional control valve which operates to selectively apply to a given wheel either the higher hydraulic braking pressure directly from the master cylinder or a reduced pressure which is produced by passing the hydraulic fluid from the master cylinder through the pressure reducing valve before application to the wheel cylinders. A load sensitive means which is sensitive to load changes at the left and right wheels and which operates the pressure reducing valve and the directional control valve operates to sense the direction of turning of the vehicle and to effect application of the braking force exerted on the inside wheels at a reduced level developed through the pressure reducing valve in accordance with the load change at a given wheel.
