A valve (49) which is intended for insertion into the line connecting a fuel pump to a system of injection valves and which is designed as a pressure-maintaining valve is characterized by a pipe body (50) intended to have a flow passing through it, into which a sleeve (53) is inserted which forms a damping cylinder (55) in a middle region, inside which damping cylinder one end of a blocking body (57) is received so as to be able to slide in the direction of the axis (58) of the pipe body (50). The opposite end of the blocking body (57) is characterized by a sealing body (67) which is formed from an elastomeric material and which cooperates with a valve seat (66) which is allocated a through bore (65) in a transverse wall (63) of the pipe body (50). The blocking body (57) lies against this valve seat under resilient pretensioning and the movement of the blocking body is damped or is accompanied by the lowest possible noise development by reason of the cooperation with the damping cylinder. The valve (49) is particularly suited to the development of a reliable sealing function in the region of the valve seat (66) and therefore to the fulfillment of a pressure-maintaining function in the said line of a fuel supply system.

What is claimed is: 1. A valve for use in a filter unit for a fuel supply system of an internal combustion engine, the filter having a pipe portion capable of having a flow passing therethrough, the valve comprising: (i) a pipe body capable of being inserted into the pipe portion and which comprises a transverse wall forming a valve seat and a through-flow cross-section and dividing an inner chamber of the pipe body into a pressure side and a relief side; (ii) a damping cylinder; (iii) a blocking body which, under a resilient force of pretensioning, lies against a relief side of the valve seat and has an end portion that faces away from the valve seat and is received and guided in the damping cylinder, wherein a liquid-filled chamber bounded by the damping cylinder and the end portion is in fluid communication with an inner chamber of the pipe body via a throttle which issues into the portion of the inner chamber which is on the relief side of the transverse wall; (iv) a sleeve connected to the damping cylinder and which can be screwed into the pipe body from a relief side thereof, wherein the throttle is formed by an annular gap between the outside of the end portion and an inner side of the damping cylinder that faces the end portion; and (v) a sealing body which is formed of an elastomeric material and cooperates with the valve seat. 2. The valve of claim 1 further comprising a spring element supported on one end on an annular step of the damping cylinder and on the other end on an annular surface of the blocking body. 3. The valve as claimed in claim 2, wherein the spring element exerts the resilient pretensioning on a side of the blocking body that faces away from the through-flow orifice, and the resilient pretensioning defines an opening pressure of the valve. 4. The valve as claimed in claim 3, wherein a position of the damping cylinder is adjustable in relation to the through-flow orifice. 5. The valve as claimed in claim 3, wherein the pipe body is formed of synthetic material and the damping cylinder is formed of a metal. 6. The valve as claimed in claim 4, wherein the pipe body is formed of synthetic material and the damping cylinder is formed of a metal. 7. The valve as claimed in claim 2, wherein a position of the damping cylinder is adjustable in relation to the through-flow orifice. 8. The valve as claimed in claim 2, wherein the pipe body is formed of synthetic material and the damping cylinder is formed of a metal. 9. The valve as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pipe body is formed of synthetic material and the damping cylinder is formed of a metal. 10. The valve as claimed in claim 1, wherein the end portion can be displaced within the inner chamber under the effect of the throttle. 11. The valve as claimed in claim 1, wherein a position of the damping cylinder is adjustable in relation to the through-flow orifice. 12. The valve as claimed in claim 11, wherein the pipe body is formed of synthetic material and the damping cylinder is formed of a metal. 13. A valve for use in a filter unit for a fuel supply system of an internal combustion engine, the filter having a pipe portion capable of having a flow passing therethrough, the valve comprising: (i) a pipe body capable of being inserted into the pipe portion and which comprises a transverse wall forming a valve seat and a through-flow cross-section and dividing an inner chamber of the pipe body into a pressure side and a relief side; (ii) a damping cylinder; (iii) a blocking body which, under a resilient force of pretensioning, lies against a relief side of the valve seat and has an end portion that faces away from the valve seat and is received and guided in the damping cylinder, wherein a liquid-filled chamber bounded by the damping cylinder and the end portion is in fluid communication with an inner chamber of the pipe body via a throttle which issues into the portion of the inner chamber which is on the relief side of the transverse wall; (iv) a spring element supported on one end on an annular step of the damping cylinder and on the other end on an annular surface of the blocking body; and (v) a sleeve connected to the damping cylinder and which can be screwed into the pipe body from a relief side thereof, wherein the throttle is formed by an annular gap between the outside of the end portion and an inner side of the damping cylinder that faces the end portion. 14. A valve as claimed in claim 13, wherein the pipe body is formed of synthetic material and the damping cylinder is formed of a metal. 15. The valve as claimed in claim 13, wherein the spring element exerts the resilient pretensioning on a side of the blocking body that faces away from the through-flow orifice, and the resilient pretensioning defines an opening pressure of the valve. 16. The valve as claimed in claim 13, wherein the end portion can be displaced within the chamber under the effect of the throttle. 17. The valve as claimed in claim 13, wherein a position of the damping cylinder is adjustable in relation to the through-flow orifice.
