<p>FLUID PRESSURE BRAKING SYSTEM WITH PARKING BRAKE - SERVICE BRAKE INTERLOCK A vehicle fluid pressure braking system is disclosed which includes brake-applying devices having separate service and parking actuators. Separate service and parking actuation circuits are provided to control actuation of the service and parking actuators, respectively. An interlocking valve is provided which prevents release of the parking actuator until a predetermined fluid pressure level is communicated to the service actuator. This interlocking valve prevents inadvertent release of the parking actuators, and also prevents release of the parking actuators in a situation in which a malfunction of the service braking circuit would render operation of the vehicle dangerous.</p> |
