The present application includes a valve (V) in particular for applying an emergency brake of a rail vehicle, comprising a valve housing (1), an actuation member (7) which is suitable to be activated by a user, an actuation rod (9) connecting the actuation member with a valve head (5), wherein the valve head (5) is adapted to abut on a valve seat (5), a guidance (1a) for guiding the actuation rod (9) being provided within the valve housing (1), a first spring (2) which is adapted to push the valve head (4) against the valve seat (5),wherein the actuation rod (9) comprises a first groove (9a) and a second groove (9b),and furthermore, a first following member (10b) is provided between the actuation rod (9) and the guidance (1a), being adapted to stably rest in the first groove (9a) or the second groove (9b).The position of the first following member (10b) within the first groove (9a) or the second groove (9b) determines whether the actuation rod (9) and hence the whole valve (V) assembly is in the neutral position or the actuated position.Furthermore, there is a second following member (6b), which is pressed against the actuation rod (9) by a third spring (6a) which rests in the valve housing (1). Further, there is a connecting element (6c) between the third spring (6a) and the second following member (6b), which is adapted to actuate one or more electrical switch(es) (6e), with which an emergency signal can be output.Hence, the valve (V) according to the present invention is a bi-stable quick-release valve, because it does not allow any unstable, "in-between" valve states. The bi-stable quick-release valve of the present application opens without delay upon reaching a specified actuation force, and reduces the pressure in the brake pipe with the required pressure gradient. If the actuation force with which the actuation member (7) of the valve is actuated is below a specified trigger force, there is no pressure decrease in the brake pipe pressure, because the valve does not open. Either, a specified trigger force is applied and the valve (V) fully opens, or a specific trigger force is not reached, and then the valve (V) does not open. However, under no circumstance an in-between state can occur.
