Abstract: A valve device has a valve housing (10, 54, 94, 166) and fluid ports in the valve housing (connected to or separated from one another in a fluid-conveying manner by a valve piston (22) displaceable along its longitudinal axis (24) in its various travel positions. A latching device (26, 28) latches the valve piston (22) in at least one of its travel positions. Individual latching parts (30, 38, 170) of the latching device, when it is actuated by an external force, take latching positions spatially different from one another with respect to the longitudinal axis (24) of the valve piston (22). The individual latching parts (30, 38, 170) of the latching device (26, 28) take positions differing from one another both in the axial direction and in the radial direction in the individual latching positions.

Abstract: A valve device has a valve housing (10), in which fluid ports (P, A, T) are provided and in which at least one valve piston (12, 14) can be moved longitudinally. The valve piston either separates at least two of the fluid ports (P, A, T) from one another or interconnects them as a function of its travel position. At least one latching device (16, 18) is provided for each valve piston (12, 14) for the detachable fastening of the respective valve pistons (12, 14) in one of its travel positions. Each latching device has at least one latching means (20), which can be brought into a latching position (22).

Abstract: A valve device having a valve housing (10, 54, 94, 166) and fluid ports (16, 18) disposed therein, which are connected to or separated from one another in a fluid-conveying manner by means of a valve piston (22) displaceable along its longitudinal axis (24) in its various travel positions, and having at least one latching device (26, 28) for latching the valve piston (22) in at least one of its travel positions, wherein individual latching means (30, 38, 170) of said latching device, when it is actuated by an external force, take latching positions spatially different from one another, which is characterized in that, with respect to the longitudinal axis (24) of the valve piston (22), the individual latching means (30, 38, 170) of the latching device (26, 28) take positions differing from one another both in the axial and in the radial direction in the individual latching positions.
