Abstract

In order to minimize spreading, without additional parts, of connecting bolts of a pneumatic brake booster in a manner which is brought about by the deformation of a bearing surface on a booster housing before and during its assembly on a provided vehicle body part, it is proposed that the bearing surface is assigned a planar surface section in an immediately adjacent manner which is configured so as to be plane-parallel with respect to the bearing surface and so as to be axially inwardly recessed on the booster housing with a circumferential step.

Claims (5)

1. A pneumatic brake booster for a hydraulic motor vehicle brake system having a booster housing of which is configured to attach to a vehicle body part, wherein the booster housing has, on the vehicle body part side, a central tube in which an axially slidable control housing, which accommodates a valve arrangement, is at least partially arranged, wherein a planar bearing surface, for bearing on the vehicle body part, is formed on the booster housing and extends radially outward from the tube orthogonally with respect to a central axis, wherein at least two connecting bolts for connecting the brake booster to the vehicle body part connect to the booster housing and are arranged projecting axially outward through the bearing surface, wherein a restoring spring for resetting the control housing to its unactuated initial position is arranged prestressed between the control housing and an inner wall, lying opposite, of the booster housing, wherein the bearing surface is assigned a planar surface section in a directly adjacent manner, wherein the planar surface section is embodied so as to be plane-parallel with respect to the bearing surface and axially inwardly recessed on the booster housing with a circumferential offset, wherein the bearing surface comprises an inner central region as well as at least two outer external regions which project radially beyond the central region, wherein the connecting bolts are each connected at the external regions to the booster housing, and wherein an inner radial edge of the planar surface section is radially outward relative to an outer radial edge of the central region of the bearing surface.

2. The brake booster as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the surface section is configured extending radially outward into a conical annular section of the booster housing.

3. The brake booster as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the annular section is formed offset axially inward, by a circumferential offset, with respect to an outer wall section which radially surrounds the annular section.

4. The brake booster as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the outer wall section is of conical construction, and wherein an angle of inclination of the annular section is unequal to an angle of inclination of the outer wall section.

5. The brake booster as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the offset is embodied so as to intersect the conical annular section immediately adjacent the at least two outer external regions.
