Pneumatic booster
A tandem pneumatic booster includes a front shell having a relatively long cylindrical portion and a rear shell having a relatively short cylindrical portion. The cylindrical portions of the front and rear shells are joined together to form a shell body. An opening edge of a cylindrical portion of a center shell is disposed in the joint between the front and rear shells, together with an outer peripheral bead of a diaphragm of a rear power piston. The cylindrical portion of each of the front, rear and center shells has a frusto-conical shape gradually increasing in diameter toward the opening edge thereof. Thus, when front shells, rear shells and center shells are stacked on one another, respectively, as constituent parts before assembly, the depth of fitting between each pair of adjacent shell elements is increased sufficiently to stably maintain the stacked conditions of the shell elements.
