ABSTRACT:
An improved remote braking system (10, 100) is provided which allows simultaneous actuation of the braking system of a motor home (12) and an automobile (14) towed behind the motor home. An advantage of the present invention is the incorporation of the system within the self-contained hydraulic brake system of the automobile, which permits the braking system of the automobile to be operated in the normal manner. The system includes an actuator (26, 102) which is secured between the vacuum booster (18) and the master cylinder (20) of the automobile. Within the actuator is a piston (38, 114) which separates the interior of the actuator into two chambers. A pressure differential is created between the chambers when the brakes of the motor home are applied to generate a force on the piston (38, 114), to apply the brakes of the towed automobile as well. The system is operable with either air brakes or hydraulic brakes in the motor home.
