A vacuum operated brake booster, comprises a casing including a base defining at least one hole, and at least one tube extending through the casing and configured to receive a screw for fastening the brake booster to a wall of a passenger compartment of a vehicle. The tube defines a rear end with a peripheral fold forming a rear groove, and an extension extending beyond the rear groove, the extension defining a first outer edge and being configured to be folded toward an outer side of the tube to form a crimping lip. The at least one hole is bordered by a recessed ring having a form complementary to that of the rear groove of the rear end of the at least one tube. The extension is configured to be folded above a second outer edge of the recessed ring and blocked in the groove.

In order to realize shortened response and release times in a pneumatic brake booster for a hydraulic motor vehicle brake system, having an operating chamber which is delimited between an operating wall and a rear wall of the booster housing, the rear wall of the booster housing has at least one formation for reducing the minimum volume of the operating chamber.

A pneumatic brake booster having a booster housing. The booster housing has at least two thin-walled shell elements and an elastomer sealing element. The sealing element has a sealing bead, which is of encircling form radially at the outside, and at least one rolling diaphragm portion which adjoins the sealing bead. The sealing bead is sealingly clamped in a clamping space between the shell elements. The clamping space is formed by walls which are generated in the shell elements by deformation, its radial inner wall formed by a tubular, axially forwardly extending projection, which is folded at its front edge, of the second shell element. It is proposed that a bead-side rear wall of the clamping space is formed by an encircling, radially outwardly projecting collar which is formed on the second shell element.

A support element for positioning a first element, in particular a cover, on a second element, in particular a housing, includes an annular disk-shaped base body that can be positioned on a support rod fastened on the second element, the base body having on a first end face a support surface for making supporting contact with the first element, where the support element has, on the first end face, a plastically deformable projection forming the support surface.

A brake booster is mounted on a forward bulkhead of a motor vehicle having two elements, a first element being securely connected to the brake booster whilst a second element is securely connected to the bulkhead. The two elements are restrained against vertical movement relative to one another by at least one connector which is deformed or fails upon a movement of the brake booster upward relative to the bulkhead. An actuator is movably mounted to the bulkhead below the brake booster and rearward of a gearbox housing such that rearward movement of the gearbox housing during a frontal collision presses against the actuator and moves the actuator upward to apply pressure to the brake booster, the pressure causing the brake booster to move upward relative to the bulkhead.

The present invention relates to an adapter body for a brake application device of a vehicle braking system. The adapter body has a first bearing surface which is designed to bear against a bulkhead of a vehicle, and a second bearing surface which is designed to bear against the brake application device, wherein the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface are at a predetermined distance from one another. A receiving means for a portion of at least one fastening bolt for fastening the brake application device to a vehicle is configured in the adapter body.
