Additionally, each consumer valve block has a second connecting conduit 82, a second consumer valve means 96 with a conical valve member 98 and a shifting piston 109, and a second consumer conduit 97.
- the shifting piston Wt forms a pressure chamber 101 corresponding to, and connected by conduit 11112 with the pressure chamber 58 of the shifting piston 52. Due to the fact that two consumer valve means 55, 98 are provided, pistons 52 and 100 do not control a conduit corresponding to conduit 50 of the first embodiment, so that the annular grooves in shifting pistons 52 and wil omitted in the embodiment of FIG. 2.

Consequently, a double-acting consumer apparatus such as a hydraulic cylinder and piston motor, and connected to the consumer conduits 47 and 97, is maintained in its position.
- the return valve 19 guides the pressure fluid from inlet conduit 6 directly into the outlet conduit 7 since the fluid can flow through the control conduit means 76.
