Abstract: An apron for a vehicle is formed of a plurality of partial aprons. In order to prevent damage to the apron requiring a complete replacement of the apron, the novel apron has a plurality of partial aprons, wherein at least one of the partial aprons has a predetermined breaking point that is configured to break earlier than the other partial apron in case of mechanical stress.

Abstract: A control valve for controlling pressure medium flows, including: a valve housing having a hollow construction and having at least one feed connection, at least two working connections, and at least one discharge connection; a control piston held displaceably inside the valve housing, through which, dependent on position, the feed connection can be connected via at least one pressure medium line to the one or to the other working connection, while the respectively other working connection is connected via at least one second pressure medium line to the discharge connection. The control piston has a piston cavity and the first pressure medium line includes a feed opening allocated to the feed connection and a discharge opening allocated to the working connections, with each of these openings opening into the piston cavity.

Abstract: A control valve, in particular a proportional valve for controlling a device for adjusting the rotation angle position of a camshaft with respect to a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine, including a hollow-cylindrical valve housing (1), which has a plurality of openings (2) that are arranged circumferentially in a radial plane for connecting to a pressure medium connection (P) and can be closed via a non-return valve (4) designed as a curved spring band (3). According to the invention, the openings (2) arranged in a radial plane are arranged at different angle distances to each other, and the shape and the rotation angle position of the curved spring band (3) serving as a non-return valve (4) is matched thereto.
