摘要：A hydraulic brake apparatus is disclosed for braking a vehicle. The apparatu s includes a reservoir for the reception therein of hydraulic fluid and a master cylinder hydraulically connected to the reservoir. A pedal actuator is pivotally secured to the veh icle and operably connected to the master cylinder. The arrangement is such that when the peda l actuator is pivoted from a retracted first location to a depressed second location there of, hydraulic fluid is drawn by the master cylinder from the reservoir towards the master cylind er. A slave cylinder is hydraulically connected to the master cylinder such that when th e pedal actuator moves from the retracted first location to the depressed second location, hy draulic fluid is pumped from the master cylinder towards the slave cylinder for actuation the reof. A further pedal actuator is pivotally secured to the vehicle and operably connected to the slave cylinder, the arrangement being such that upon the actuation of the slave cy linder, the further pedal actuator is pivoted from a released first location to an applied secon d location thereof. A further master cylinder is hydraulically connected to the reservoir and op erably connected to the further pedal actuator. A brake system is hydraulically connected to the further master cylinder such that when the further pedal actuator is pivoted towards the ap plied second location, the further master cylinder pumps hydraulic fluid from the further master cylinder towards the brake system so that the brake system is applied for braking the vehicle. The arrangement is such that braking of the vehicle is accomplished by movement of at least one of the pedals towards the respective second location.
