<p>In prior art vacuum brake boosters embodying a two-stage reaction, the magnitude of the two-stage reaction is limited because of the small space available for the reaction-delaying spring. Moreover, the lost motion present in the reaction lever mechanism has to be overcome when the braking operation is initiated. These disadvantages are overcome in a vacuum brake booster including a reaction mechanism constructed in accordance with the present invention wherein the reaction-delaying spring is positioned on the side of the reaction levers adjacent the vacuum chamber and by having the point of contact of the spring on the reaction levers at a greater radius than the point at which the levers are in engagement with the movable wall.</p> |
