ABSTRACT:
The brake system in-line fast fill valve (10) of the present invention comprises a valve housing (12) which may be threadably inserted within the body of a master cylinder so that an inlet (28) at one end of the fast fill valve (10) communicates with an outlet (39) from a pressure chamber (33) of the master cylinder (30). The valve housing (12) includes a stepped bore (22) having a differential area fast fill piston (40) receiving slidably therein a poppet piston (60). A first seal (50) is disposed about a reduced diameter portion (46) of the fast fill piston (40) and axially opposite a second seal (52) disposed at an enlarged diameter end (48) of the fast fill piston (40). The second seal (52) is received about a second radially enlarged end (62) of the poppet piston (60), the poppet piston (60) extending through the fast fill piston (40) and an end opening (44 ) within the fast fill piston (40), with a third seal (56) disposed about a first poppet end (66) and abutting a reduced diameter end (42) of the fast fill piston (40). A first spring (72) biases the poppet piston (60) into engagement with the fast fill piston (40), and a second spring (74) extends between a second radially enlarged end (68) of the poppet piston (60) and a radial wall (23) of said stepped bore (22). The enlarged ends (48, 68) of the pistons (40, 60) are disposed within a fast fill chamber (24) which communicates with an outlet (20) of the fast fill valve housing (12). The fast fill valve (10) effects a quick transmittal of fluid to a brake piston, and effects a slight delay in the transmission of higher pressure to the brake so that the fast fill valve (10) function as a hold-off valve.
