An electronic brake system allows the effective braking pressure to be formed in response to occurrence of a minute leak in a hydraulic circuit, whereby the stability and reliability for braking is improved.

A reservoir tank includes a reservoir body defining a storage chamber for an operating fluid; and a float guide in the storage chamber. The float guide forms a float chamber on the inner side. The reservoir tank further includes a fluid level detection device that has a float moving up and down in the float chamber in accordance with fluctuations of a fluid level, and has a detector detecting when the float is below predetermined position. The reservoir tank is provided with a slit in the float guide. The slit is in communication with the storage chamber and the float chamber. An operating fluid passage is provided on an inner face of the float guide which is continuous with the slit, which is in communication with the slit and the float chamber.

A unit for detecting a filling level of a liquid in a container. The unit includes at least one float gauge, which carries at least one permanent magnet, and including at least one switching unit, which is actuatable by the permanent magnet and is fastened in or at the container. It is provided that at least one energizable magnetic device for generating a magnetic field is assigned to the switching unit, which, when sufficiently energized, generates a magnetic field, which actuates the switching unit when the switching unit is functional.

The reservoir tank includes a reservoir body which reserves a fluid in an inner portion thereof formed to be in a hollow box shape. The reservoir body includes a port extending outward, a reservoir chamber which reserves the fluid and a port chamber which volume is smaller than that of the reservoir chamber and is in fluid communication with the port and a first communication passage positioned at a portion lower than a changeable liquid surface of the fluid reserved in the reservoir chamber in a vertical direction and provided at the first partition portion to allow the fluid communication between the reservoir chamber and the port chamber and wherein the port chamber and the port are kept being a state in which they are filled with the fluid supplied from the reservoir chamber via the first communication passage.

A reservoir includes at least a container, a cap, a diaphragm, and a sealing device. The container includes a neck portion that extends from a body of the container. The neck portion includes an opening that provides access to an interior of the container. The cap is structured to interact with the neck portion. The cap includes a vent for pressure balancing of the reservoir. The diaphragm includes a slit that communicates with the vent. The sealing device includes a sealed vessel and a holder. The sealed vessel includes a sealing member sealed by a seal. The sealed vessel is movable to at least a first position such that the sealed vessel physically contacts the diaphragm to seal the slit. The sealed vessel is movable to a second position such that the sealed vessel is spaced from the diaphragm to unseal the slit. The holder is configured to bold the sealed vessel in alignment with the cap. The holder maintains a fixed position within the container when the sealed vessel moves from the first position to the second position. The holder maintains a fixed position within the container when the sealed vessel moves from the second position to the first position.

In order to improve a compensation reservoir for a hydraulic operating system, in particular for a hydraulic brake system or a clutch system, comprising a housing in the interior of which a storage chamber which is provided for storing hydraulic medium is bounded by a separating element which changes its shape in accordance with a volume of the storage chamber, it is proposed that the housing engages over the separating element in all of its shapes, which correspond to possible volumes of the storage chamber, in a protective manner, that a filling level-indicating region of the separating element changes its position in the housing when the volume which is taken up by the hydraulic medium which is stored in the storage chamber changes, and this position in each case represents a filling level-indicating position, and that the filling level-indicating position which is situated within the housing is visible from outside the housing through a viewing region of the housing.
