Abstract: The present invention relates to a dry mortar and a mortar slurry as well as a method for producing semi-rigid coatings. In one embodiment, the dry mortar or the mortar slurry contains a cement, a very fine component and a plasticizer and is free from silica fume, wherein the mortar slurry can be applied at a temperature of the asphalt support structure of 55 to 80° C. and a compressive strength of at least 100 N/mm2 is achieved after 28 days. In a further embodiment, the dry mortar or the mortar slurry also contains a gelling agent such that the mortar slurry has a reduced efflux tendency.

Abstract: The feeding device for feeding parts to be mounted to at least one of an upper tool and a lower tool of a mounting machine has a carriage and at least one feeding push rod connected to the carriage. A push crank is connected to the carriage for moving in a reciprocating movement the at least one feeding push rod in a longitudinal direction of the at least one push rod between an extended and a retracted position.

Abstract: An apparatus for applying small parts, such as ribets, eyelets, snaps, hooks, buttons, etc., to a carrier material is provided. In addition to having an applying tool, the apparatus includes a separating or sorting magazine for the storage of loose small parts. This magazine comprises a container that has a feed opening, as well as a working mechanism that is secured to the container and via which the small part are separated or sorted. In order to enable as easy emptying of the sorting magazine, the container and/or the working mechanism is pivotably mounted and hence the sorting magazine can be opened for emptying the same.
