An apparatus controlled by fluid pressure for maintaining a brake force applied to a vehicle, comprising: valve means interposed between a master cylinder and a brake wheel cylinder, said valve means being capable of automatically supplying fluid from the master cylinder to the brake wheel cylinder

An apparatus controlled by fluid pressure for maintaining a brake force applied to a vehicle, comprising: valve means interposed between a master cylinder and a brake wheel cylinder, said valve means being capable of automatically supplying fluid from the master cylinder to the brake wheel cylinder and automatically stopping the supply of fluid from the brake wheel cylinder; first sensing means for sensing when the vehicle has stopped based on the conditions that the vehicle speed is zero, an engine rpm is not zero, an amount of depression of an accelerator pedal is zero, and a brake pedal is actuated; second sensing means for sensing when the vehicle begins travelling based on the conditions that a gear transmitting operation is completed, the engine rpm is not zero, the amount of depression of the accelerator pedal is not zero, and the clutch is half engaged; and an electronic control means for closing said valve means to maintain the brake force applied to the vehicle when the vehicle has stopped, and for opening said valve means to release the brake force applied to the vehicle when the vehicle begins travelling.
