<p>A regulator (110) for a fluid braking system of motor vehicles, particularly for hydraulic braking systems. The regulator (110) includes a housing (112) formed of a main housing piece (115) and a detachable cap piece (160). A resilient bulb (14) is mounted within the housing (112). The housing (112) includes a bulb cavity (113) larger than the resilient bulb (14). The resilient bulb expands and contracts in response to pressure changes in the brake fluid which are communicated to the interior of the resilient bulb. The space (113a) between the resilient bulb (14) and the bulb cavity (113) can be pressurized using a restraint pressure supply (160) to pressures in excess of 100 psi. The bulb restraint chamber (113a) is advantageously provided with a restraint member (140) which is preferably elastic and mounted to the interior surfaces of the bulb cavity (113) so as to extend inwardly and initially contact the bulb to provide a resilient restraint.</p> |
