In the present invention, when a first protrusion of a shaft abuts on a guide face thereby pressing a first valve element toward the top as seen in the drawing, the guide face is separated from a cylinder seat face, and a large-diameter oil passage is opened. At this time, when the first protrusion abuts on the guide face thereby driving the first valve element to the position where the valve opens, the first valve element is also pressed in a direction perpendicular to the reciprocating direction of the first valve element because the guide face has a spherical surface or a tapered surface. Thus, the first valve element is supported at two points, point E and point F or G, thereby dampening vibrations.

This blow-by gas recirculation device for an internal combustion engine of a vehicle is provided with a vacuum pump which supplies negative pressure to a brake booster. The blow-by gas recirculation device includes: a fresh-air introduction passage for introducing a fresh air into crankcase from an intake passage upstream of a throttle valve; a PCV device for recirculating, to the intake passage downstream of the throttle valve, blow-by gas in the crankcase; and a suction/recirculation means which uses the vacuum pump to suck the blow-by gas from inside the crankcase, in a region where the blow-by gas ventilation quantity by the PCV device is insufficient, and recirculate the blow-by gas to the intake passage, while the fresh air is being introduced from the fresh-air introduction passage. As a result, the blow-by gas concentration in the crankcase is reduced, engine oil contact opportunities are reduced, and oil deterioration is inhibited.

A wheel-specific, electrohydraulic brake actuator for controlling the brake pressure of a connectible wheel brake of a motor vehicle in a slip-dependent manner. A method for controlling a wheel-specific, electrohydraulic brake actuator as well as an electronically slip-controllable vehicle brake system using wheel-specific, electrohydraulic brake actuators, are also described. In the brake actuator, a pressure channel connects the brake pressure generator directly to the wheel connection.

Provided is a reservoir in which an inlet for injecting a liquid from the outside into a reservoir chamber in which the liquid is stored is provided at one side of a vehicle, a communication path that extends from the inlet toward the other side of the vehicle is provided, and a communication opening that is capable of making communication between the communication path and the reservoir chamber is formed. A surface part that gets higher from one side of the vehicle toward the communication opening of the other side of the vehicle in a state in which the reservoir chamber is mounted in the vehicle is formed at an upper portion of the reservoir chamber.

A reservoir tank mounting section includes a reservoir tank configured to store a hydraulic fluid of a brake apparatus, and an auxiliary machine case. The auxiliary machine case has a tank supporting section configured to hold the reservoir tank. The tank supporting section is constituted by a recessed section in which an outer surface of the auxiliary machine case is recessed inward. The tank supporting section is formed substantially along an outer surface shape of the reservoir tank and has an outer surface covering wall configured to cover an outer surface of the reservoir tank.
