A flow direction restriction valve mechanism unit includes a pressure decreasing valve assembly that is located to be freely advance or retract in a combination valve cassette attached to an in-outlet secondary side flow path formed on the side of an outlet with respect to an intermediate transmission member in a flow path, and retracts by a pressure of gas; a first coil spring urging the pressure decreasing valve assembly in a retracting direction; a check valve that is located to be freely advance or retract with respect to the pressure decreasing valve assembly, and retracts by a pressure of the gas; and a second coil spring urging the check valve in an advancing direction. A gas induction passage H is formed in which the gas flows and acts on the pressure decreasing valve assembly such that the pressure decreasing valve assembly moves in the advancing direction.

A device for controlling a volumetric flow rate of a medium stored under pressure in order to activate an impact protection device, having a control module that includes a valve body having a stepped through-opening, and a control piston guided axially in the through-opening of the valve body, and a control valve that influences the movement of the control piston, the valve body having at a first end a closable medium inlet opening having a valve chamber. The control valve and the control module are situated in a common housing sleeve, the valve body of the control module being pressed into a first end of the housing sleeve until it comes to a stop on a housing shoulder, and the control valve being introduced into and fixed in a second end of the housing sleeve.

Distributor valve assembly (1) comprising a proportioning valve (10) and a pressure compensator (30). A control piston (32) adjusts the flow cross sections through a first compensator throttle (36a) and through a second compensator throttle (36b) by longitudinal movement thereof.
