A softstart valve means comprises a main valve member which is only switched over after a certain time from a closed position into an open position. The opening force required for switch over of the main valve member can be produced selectively in a manner dependent from pressure obtaining in a secondary duct or in a time dependent fashion. The respective operational mode can be selected by actuation of switch over means.

A soft start device for compressed air systems comprises a primary inlet at which compressed air at a primary pressure may be supplied, the primary inlet being connected with a secondary outlet able to be coupled with a load, by a valve circuit, at which compressed air is taken at the secondary pressure lower than or equal to the primary pressure, a principal valve placed between the primary and secondary outlet, said principal valve being able to be shunted by a bypass, a choke device being placed in the bypass, the principal valve and the choke device together with further valves of the valve circuit being connected together in a circuit and the valve circuit placed in a standard venting switching setting that the secondary outlet is vented.

A fluid power device having at least one pressure regulator whose regulator housing is fitted at the end side with a manometer. In order to ensure readability of its display face when looking at it from different angles the manometer is able to be positioned at different alignments in relation to the regulator housing. For this purpose the manometer is mounted on a holder, which is able to be pivoted in relation to regulator housing about an axis of rotation perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and to the upright axis of the pressure regulator to present different display positions.
