A pressure switch valve which briefly raises a pressure during switching of the valve. The pressure switch valve has a cylindrical chamber with a first ball that engages a valve seat of an inflow conduit. A second, spring-loaded ball is supported on the first. Both balls are longitudinally movable with slight radial play in the cylindrical chamber. An outflow conduit branches off from the cylindrical chamber at one point in such a way that upon switching of the valve, a normal plane containing the spherical center of the first ball toward the valve seat and extending at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the chamber does not reach the mouth cross section of the outflow conduit until a corresponding normal plane of the second ball toward the spring has already exited from the mouth cross section.
A pressure switch valve, for hydraulic vehicle brake systems with traction control (ASR), comprising a cylindrical chamber (16), having an inflow conduit and an outflow conduit for pressure fluid, a longitudinally movable valve closing first ball (18) and a second ball (19) in axial alignment in said cylindrical chamber, a compression spring (20) in contact with said second ball (19) that applies an axial force directly on said second ball and indirectly on said closing first ball in which said closing first ball cooperates with a valve seat (8), said closing first ball (18), said second ball (19) and said compression spring are received in said cylindrical chamber (16) with slight radial play and disposed along a longitudinal axis of said cylindrical cylinder, and said closing first ball (18) engages the valve seat (8), said second ball (19) is supported on the first ball (18), under the influence of the compression spring (20) specifically on a side remote from the valve seat (8), an outflow conduit (23) which branches off from the cylindrical chamber (16) at a point such that upon switching of the pressure switch valve (1) and movement of the first ball such that a plane (25) normal to a longitudinal axis (17) of said cylindrical chamber (16) and through a spherical center of the closing first ball (18), does not reach a mouth cross section of the outflow conduit (23) until after a corresponding plane (24) relative to said second ball (19) has already passed beyond the mouth cross section of said outflow conduit (23).
