Abstract

A cylinder apparatus for a brake may include: a piston configured to reciprocate in a cylinder body; a rod coaxially coupled to the piston; a stopper disposed in the cylinder body with the rod penetrated and inserted into the stopper; and an elastic member disposed between the piston and the stopper and configured to elastically support the piston in a direction away from the stopper. The piston and the rod may be integrally formed by injection molding.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cylinder apparatus for a brake comprising:
a piston configured to reciprocate in a cylinder body;
a rod coaxially coupled to the piston;
a stopper disposed in the cylinder body, with the rod penetrated and inserted into the stopper; and
an elastic member disposed between the piston and the stopper and configured to elastically support the piston in a direction away from the stopper,
wherein:
the piston and the rod are integrally formed by injection molding; and
the stopper is formed of resin.

2. The cylinder apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the rod comprises:
a rod body coupled at one end thereof to the piston; and
a rod head coupled to the other end of the rod body and configured to pass through a through hole formed in the stopper.

3. The cylinder apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the piston is formed of resin.

4. A cylinder apparatus for a brake comprising:
a piston configured to reciprocate in a cylinder body;
a rod coaxially coupled to the piston;
a stopper disposed in the cylinder body, with the rod penetrated and inserted into the stopper; and
an elastic member disposed between the piston and the stopper and configured to elastically support the piston in a direction away from the stopper,
wherein:
the piston and the rod are integrally formed by infection molding;
the rod comprises:
a rod body coupled at one end thereof to the piston; and
a rod head coupled to the other end of the rod body and configured to pass through a through-hole formed in the stopper; and

the rod head has a hemispherical shape on a stopper-side end thereof.

5. The cylinder apparatus of claim 4 , wherein an outer diameter of the rod head is greater than an inner diameter of the through hole.

6. A cylinder apparatus for a brake comprising:
a floating piston configured to reciprocate in a cylinder body;
a primary piston configured to reciprocate in the cylinder body in conjunction with the floating piston;
a first rod coaxially provided with the primary piston and coupled to one side of the primary piston, the first rod being disposed to protrude toward the floating piston;
a compressing block coaxially provided with the primary piston and coupled to the other side of the primary piston so that the compressing block is compressed by a push rod of a booster;
a first stopper coupled to the floating piston, with the first rod penetrated and inserted into the first stopper; and
an elastic member disposed between the primary piston and the first stopper and configured to elastically support the primary piston in a direction away from the first stopper,
wherein the primary piston is formed of resin, and the first rod and the compressing block are formed of metal.

7. The cylinder apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the first rod and the compressing block are integrally formed.

8. The cylinder apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the primary piston is integrally formed with the first rod and the compressing block through an insert injection molding process.

9. The cylinder apparatus of claim 6 , wherein a retainer having a size corresponding to an inner diameter of the first stopper is installed on an end of the first rod.

10. The cylinder apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the retainer is provided with an elastic coupling piece bent in a direction in which the first rod is coupled to the retainer, and the first rod has in the end thereof a locking groove to which the elastic coupling piece is locked.
