Abstract
In order to simplify the operation of a valve assembly (2) which includes a plurality of valves (3) that have respective activating elements (8) which serve for in each case manually opening the valves (3), the activating elements are temporarily blocked with the aid of at least one shut-off part (6) so that an activation of at least one of the other valves (3) of the valve assembly (2) is currently precluded.

An activating device (1) for activating at least two valves (3) of a valve assembly (2), by activating one of the at least two valves (3) in an activating direction (11), the activating device comprising:
- a shut-off element (4) that is movable to a shut-off position (5), wherein the shut-off element (4) comprises multiple of shut-off parts (6a, 6b, 6c);
- respective activating elements (8a, 8b, 8c) by which the valves (3) are openable, and the activating elements (8a, 8b, 8c) are adapted to move a respective one of the shut-off parts (6a, 6b, 6c) to the shut-off position (5);
- and
- an activation of at least one of the at least two valves (3) is blocked as soon as the shut-off element (4) is in the shut-off position (5).
The activating device (1) according to claim 16, wherein the blockage of the non-activated valves (3) is cancellable by closing a currently open one of the valves (3).
