Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to fluid pressure braking systems for vehicles in which air pressure is used to produce the brake-applying force in brake operating member, and the brake-applying force is reduced in response to the operation of a skid-sensing means to relieve the braking so long as the tendency to skid exists. The invention provides a valve mechanism for insertion in such a system which controls the connection of the brake operating member to the pressure source through a driver's control valve and to exhaust, the valve mechanism including a first valve which connects the brake operating member selectively to the pressure source or to exhaust, a second valve, on the side of the first valve to which the pressure source is connected, which provides a degree of restriction of air flow to the brake operating member decreasing with increase of pressure on the downstream side of the first valve, and a pilot valve operated by the skid sensing member to control the first valve.
