Abstract: A hydraulic system for a vehicle including a distributor, or switch, valve for actuating at least two operational areas and supplying the two areas with sufficient amounts of hydraulic medium is provided. The distributor, or switch, valve preferably comprises a flow regulator valve and a solenoid valve, which function so that the supply of hydraulic medium to the steering system always has priority, ensuring that the vehicle is steerable in any situation. When the steering system is operational, the supply of hydraulic medium to other operational areas, such as the clutch and transmission systems, is completely blocked by operation of the switch valve. If, however, the clutch and transmission systems should require hydraulic medium during operation of the steering system, the switch valve allows a small portion of hydraulic medium to be supplied to the clutch and transmission as well.

Abstract: A valve arrangement is so constructed that a pressure limitation is attainable with minimal parts expenditure and without additional structural volume in a cost advantageous manner. On a shift piston of a pathway valve, a valve member of a pressure valve is arranged therewith. The pressure valve is installed within the structural volume of the pathway valve. Via a slight modification of the shift piston of the pathway valve and installation of the valve member as a single additional structural part there is eliminated additional pressure valve structure and system connection thereof necessary with known valve arrangement. With that the inventive valve arrangement fulfills preconditions made as to a mass product including particularly nominal structural volume, nominal number of structural parts, nominal disturbance susceptibility and extremely cost-advantageous production manufacturing.
