Container for hydraulic medium supply

Abstract

Disclosed is a container for supplying pressure fluid to a master cylinder of a hydraulic motor vehicle brake system. The container includes a filling reservoir ( 2,29 ) arranged at a first level ( 14,45 ) and including a fill hole ( 15,31 ) and a discharge opening ( 16,32 ), a main reservoir ( 3,30 ) arranged at a second level ( 19,46 ) and including an inlet opening ( 35, 44 and discharge openings ( 47,48 ), as well as a device 8 for monitoring the container's state of filling, with the first level ( 14,45 ) being disposed above the second level ( 19,46 ), and the filling reservoir ( 2,29 ) and the main reservoir ( 3,30 ) being interconnected. A device ( 17,33 ) for filling the main reservoir is integrated with the container and includes one or more channels ( 18,34 ).
