ABSTRACT:
When an element of the electro-hydraulic brake circuit (1) is malfunctioning, a master cylinder (2) can brake the vehicle. A brake actuation simulator (8) is then disconnected from the master cylinder (2) by means of an O-ring gasket (22) after the gasket has been compressed between a groove (16) in a secondary piston (11) and a bore (24) in the master cylinder. In order to prevent the gasket from being extruded from the groove during brake release (or brake pedal release) resulting from sudden braking, the invention makes provision for a pressure relief duct (32) to be provided inside the secondary piston. Extra pressure can then be discharged during brake release (or brake pedal release) through the brake release duct (32) from the inside of the chamber (30) of the simulator towards the primary chamber (10) of the master cylinder.
