Abstract: A metering system for applying a bead of a multi-component composite material to a component. The metering system comprises a mixing head including a mixing chamber. The metering system includes one supply line for each component of a multi-component composite material, leading from a source of each component to the mixing chamber. The mixing chamber is configured to mix the components of the multi-component composite material in the mixing chamber and has an outlet opening through which the mixed multi-component composite material exits the mixing head. The metering system includes a metering pump to convey a discharge of the multi-component composite material through the outlet opening. The metering system includes a control unit to output, to the metering pump, a control signal comprising control information andvadjust a metering output of the multi-component composite material through the outlet opening of the mixing head based on the control signal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sinker segment (1) for a textile loop. The sinker segment comprises a multitude of loop-forming elements (10) which are arranged in an equidistant manner, are aligned parallel, are joined in the area of a bottom section (12) by one or more strands (20) of a curable adhesive, and which can be directly fastened to the textile loop.
