Abstract: Filling valve for the metered delivery of a flow of medium, having: a valve housing with a passage having an inlet opening at the top and an outlet opening at the bottom and a valve body which is accommodated in the passage, a lower end of which has a diameter which decreases in the downwards direction and an upper end of which is connected to actuation means for vertical displacement of the valve body between a closed position and an open position of the valve, which respectively serves to block and allow through a flow of medium via the passage and through the outlet opening. A bottom section of the lower end of the valve body has a stepped shape, with a diameter which decreases in the downward direction.

Abstract: Filling valve for dispensing metered quantities of a flow of medium, comprising: a valve housing with a flow passage which has an inlet and an outlet opening; an actuable valve body which is accommodated in the flow passage, for opening and closing the outlet opening; actuating means for moving the valve body to and fro between an open position and a closed position; in which the valve body comprises a transitional part having a substantially circular cross section, which transitional part transits into a pointed end part, the transitional part and the pointed end part merging smoothly into one another via a convexly curved part running into an adjoining concavely curved part.
