Abstract: A metering pump or segment (100), and a metering pump assembly comprising a plurality of the metering pumps or segments (100), are disclosed. The drive shaft assembly (336) for driving the pump gears (112,114) of each metering pump or segment (100) is coaxially aligned with the longitudinal axis (A) of the pump or segment (100), as is the fluid inlet supply path, whereby only three gears (342,114,116) are required to comprise each metering pump or segment (100). The single drive shaft assembly (336) is utilized to drive all of the metering pumps or segments (100) comprising the metering pump assembly (300), and the different metering pumps or segments (100) are fluidically connected together by means of a common fluid passageway (350). In addition, the different metering pumps or segments (100) can be interchanged or exchanged so as to permit different metered fluid output volumes to be outputted at different predetermined locations.

Abstract: A dual, variable volume hot melt adhesive dispensing nozzle or die assembly is provided with a pair of choke slots (194, 208) within a first fluid control plate (166). The provision of the choke slots within the first fluid control plate effectively restricts and retards the flow of the fluid through such choke slots whereby volumes of the fluids are effectively built up and stored upstream of the choke slots so as to effectively delay the reaction of pressure spikes upon the fluid flows under both positive and negative conditions. This buildup in pressure and volume is then dispensed over time so as to cause the fluid flow to smoothly transition between positive and negative spiked fluid flow conditions and normal fluid flow conditions. Accordingly, the pressure spikes do not adversely affect the resulting fluid flows whereby, for example, under conventional negative pressure spike conditions, gaps in the dispensed hot melt adhesive would otherwise occur.

Abstract translation: 双重可变体积热熔胶分配喷嘴或模具组件在第一流体控制板（166）内设置有一对扼流槽（194,208）。 在第一流体控制板内设置扼流槽有效地限制和延迟通过这种扼流槽的流体流动，从而有效地建立并存储流体的体积并将其储存在扼流槽的上游，以有效地延迟压力的反作用 在正和负条件下流体流动。 然后随着时间的推移分配压力和体积的积聚，以使流体流动在正极和负极加标流体流动条件和正常流体流动条件之间平稳过渡。 因此，压力峰值不会不利地影响所得到的流体流动，因此例如在常规负压尖峰条件下，分配的热熔粘合剂中的间隙将另外发生。
