ABSTRACT:
A hydraulic brake system for braking a vehicle wheel includes a hydraulic fluid source, a pump connected to the hydraulic fluid source for pumping hydraulic fluid based on operation of an operating member of the vehicle and a connecting arrangement having one end connected to the pump. A wheel cylinder which is adapted to be mounted adjacent a brake disk of a vehicle wheel includes a brake pad element for being urged against the brake disk upon the application of a hydraulic fluid pressure to impart a braking force to the brake disk. The brake pad element is movable with the brake disk when the brake disk element is urged against the brake disk. In addition, a movable pressure increasing element is positioned adjacent the brake pad element and is movable away from the brake pad element as a result of the brake pad element moving with the brake disk. As a result, an increase in pressure in the wheel cylinder arises in a relatively rapid manner to compensate for compliant characteristics in the braking system. The braking system also includes other arrangements and other features for effecting a similar result. The result is a brake system having an improved reaction time.
