A valve arrangement comprising at least one check valve, the check valve comprising a closing element configured to close at least one bore, wherein the closing element is comprised of a strip formed to a ring, wherein the valve arrangement comprises a valve member having an annular channel and at least one bore opening into the annular channel, wherein the strip of the at least one check valve is arranged in the annular channel wherein the strip has an initial position in which initial position the strip is floatingly arranged in the annular channel.
2. The valve arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the annular channel is arranged in a valve sleeve of the valve member.
3. The valve arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein the annular channel has a width greater than a width of the strip.
4. The valve arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein the annular channel is arranged in an inner wall of the valve sleeve.
5. The valve arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein the annular channel is arranged in an outer wall of the valve sleeve wherein the valve member comprises an auxiliary sleeve surrounding the valve sleeve and closing the annular channel radially outwardly.
6. The valve arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the strip is comprised of spring steel.
7. The valve arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the strip has a substantially rectangular contour.
8. The valve arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the strip has ends spaced apart from one another in a mounted position of the strip.
9. The valve arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the strip has ends overlapping one another in a mounted position of the strip.
10. The valve arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the strip has at least one end which is bent radially inwardly.
11. The valve arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the strip has a diameter which is elastically widenable or reducible.
12. The valve arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the strip has at least one closure.
13. The valve arrangement according to claim 12 , wherein the at least one closure is separated from the strip by a gap.
14. The valve arrangement according to claim 13 , wherein the at least one closure comprises a closing part and a spring stay connecting the closing part to material of the strip.
15. The valve arrangement according to claim 14 , wherein the spring stay is partially separated from the strip by the gap.
16. The valve arrangement according to claim 14 , wherein the closing part and the spring stay are arranged symmetrically relative to a longitudinal center plane of the strip.
17. The valve arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the strip has longitudinal sides and wherein at least one of the longitudinal sides has at least one projection.
18. A valve arrangement comprising at least one check valve, the check valve comprising a closing element configured to close at least one bore, wherein the closing element is comprised of a strip formed to a ring, wherein the valve arrangement comprises a valve member having an annular channel and at least one bore opening into the annular channel, wherein the strip of the at least one check valve is arranged in the annular channel, wherein the annular channel is arranged in an outer wall of a valve sleeve of the valve member, wherein the valve member comprises an auxiliary sleeve surrounding the valve sleeve and closing the annular channel radially outwardly, wherein the strip rests with elastic pretension against the auxiliary sleeve.
19. The valve arrangement according to claim 18 , wherein the strip is secured against rotation relative to the annular channel.
