A vehicle includes a vehicle cabin, a storage chamber, and a partition wall separating the storage chamber from the vehicle cabin. The storage chamber is arranged on at least one side of the vehicle cabin in the vehicle front-rear direction. The partition wall has an opening and the storage chamber communicates with the vehicle cabin via the opening. A cover configured to open and close the opening is provided over the opening. A brake fluid pressure generation device is stored in the storage chamber. The brake fluid pressure generation device includes a reservoir tank in which hydraulic fluid is accumulated and is arranged at a position facing the opening.

A system for a vehicle having a brake system comprises a retention device adapted to engage and secure a container to the vehicle responsive to operation of the brake system. A method of a system for a vehicle having a brake system adapted to engage and secure a container to the vehicle responsive to operation of the brake system is also disclosed.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a vehicle having independent fluid reservoirs for a fluid-activated brake system and at least one auxiliary fluid consumer. In an illustrative example, a first reservoir may be mounted above a chassis and outboard of a vehicle such that longitudinal axes of the reservoir and the vehicle are substantially aligned. The first reservoir may, for example, be fluidly coupled to a fluidly activated brake configured to brake at least one wheel on at least one axle of the vehicle and fluidly coupled to the first reservoir. At least one second reservoir may be fluidly coupled to at least one auxiliary fluid consumer of the vehicle such that the first reservoir is fluidly independent from the at least one second reservoir and the at least one auxiliary fluid consumer. Various embodiments may advantageously provide stable air supply for critical braking functions of the vehicle.

A master cylinder for a brake. The master cylinder includes a cylinder main body having a hydraulic pressure chamber, a reservoir tank having a storage chamber, and a separator that is provided in the reservoir tank to divide a space in the storage chamber of the reservoir tank into an upper region and a lower region. A hydraulic fluid is storable in the hydraulic pressure chamber, and is storable in the storage chamber for thereby replenishing the hydraulic pressure chamber. The hydraulic fluid is circulatable between the upper region and the lower region, such that a liquid surface of the hydraulic fluid is in the upper region. The separator has a lower surface in the lower region. The lower surface has an inner portion, and an inclined portion that surrounds the inner portion and that is inclined outwardly and upwardly with respect to the inner portion.

A brake assembly includes a reservoir body adapted to store a brake fluid and defining a cylinder bore, and a piston adapted to reciprocate inside the cylinder bore. The brake assembly also includes a base bracket pivotably coupled to a reservoir body and adapted to be mounted to a handlebar, and a handle pivotally coupled to the base bracket and adapted to pivot relative to the base bracket. A drive link is pivotable coupled to the reservoir body and is configured to pivot relative to the reservoir body to advance the piston inside the cylinder bore in response to the pressing of the handle. The handle is configured to be set at a plurality of angular positions with respect to the reservoir body by pivoting the base bracket relative to the reservoir body.

A hydraulic block, the upper side of which is provided with a brake-fluid reservoir which is fixed in place on the front surface and on the rear surface of the block by fastening apparatus/device (arrangement). The front fastening apparatus/device (arrangement) is formed by a tab that projects from the underside of the reservoir, this tab being screwed to the front surface of the block. The rear fastening apparatus/device (arrangement) is made up of a tab, which projects from the rear side of the reservoir and is formed by a hook that is supported by a carrier that is fastened to the rear side of the hydraulic block and forms a support for the tab, as well as a clamp, which connects the tab to the hook.

A braking system having wheel brakes, a pressure supply device connected to the wheel brakes, a master brake cylinder actuated by a brake pedal and connected to the wheel brakes, and a brake fluid reservoir having a first and a second reservoir chamber separated by a partition wall, wherein the first reservoir chamber is connected to the pressure supply device, via which the pressure supply device is supplied with pressure medium, and the second reservoir chamber is connected to the master brake cylinder, via which the master brake cylinder is supplied with pressure medium The braking system is operated in a first operating mode when the first filling level is reached and a second operating mode when the second filling level is reached, and a hydraulic fallback level if a lowest filling level is reached.
