ABSTRACT:
An improved brake proportioning system, particularly for a vehicle such as a truck, subject to relatively large differences in loading, includes a force responsive proportioning valve inserted between a master brake cylinder and the rear brakes of the vehicle for increasing the rear braking effort relative to the front braking effort as the vehicle load increases. A device which senses the position of the rear spring of the vehicle operably connected to the force input of the proportioning valve by responding to angular movements of the pivotally mounted end portion of the rear leaf spring whereby spring flexure due to changes in vehicle load produce a corresponding input force to the proportioning valve.
