Abstract
The present invention comprises a multiway valve for fluids, consisting of an inlet line (1), a connector housing (9), basic valve bodies (2, 3) and additional valve bodies (25, 26, 26') branching off from the connector housing (9), with each of the valve bodies (2, 3, 25, 26, 26') having a valve housing (10) designed as a guide cylinder with a lateral discharge outlet (4) opening into the respective outlet line (5), with a valve spindle (13, 13a) movable in the axial direction within the guide cylinder with a valve head (12, 12a) engaging in a valve seat (6) in the connector housing (9) in the closed position of the respective valve body, as well as the use of this multiway valve. The basic valve bodies (2, 3) have a valve head lantern (17, 18) in the form of a straight cylinder (17) with an attached, straight cylinder (18) cropped at an inclined angle. The valve head (12a) of each additional valve body (25, 26, 26') has a cylindrical attachment with a front surface that forms a cavity curved inwards like the inner surface of a cylinder section, and a gable-roofed shaped wedge or a cone arranged flush to the front surface within said cavity.
