Abstract:
A pneumatic booster (40) disposed between a brake pedal (5) and a master cylinder (7) includes a cylindrical member (60) provided on an outer circumferential side of an output rod (58). A seal member (62) seals between an outer circumferential side of the cylindrical member and a cylindrical portion of a front shell, and an O-ring seals between the cylindrical member and the output rod. The cylindrical member causes a differential pressure between a negative pressure chamber (A) and an atmosphere chamber (C) to be applied to a valve body (46). One axial side of the cylindrical member is configured to cause an atmosphere pressure to be applied to the valve body by abutting against a cylindrical protruding portion of the valve body, thereby pushing the valve body with the aid of the differential pressure in the direction as a biasing direction of a return spring.
