## Abstract

A package includes a string of capsules that includes at least three capsules which are disposed next to each other in a threadlike manner and an envelope where the string of capsules is encased in the envelope. At least a first one of the at least three capsules is an A-type capsule which encapsulates a portion of an A-component of a hardenable multi-component mass and at least a second one of the at least three capsules is a B-type capsule which encapsulates a portion of a B-component of the hardenable multi-component mass.

## Claims

### Claim at position 1

-15. (canceled)

### Claim 16

A package, comprising:
a string of capsules that includes at least three capsules which are disposed next to each other in a threadlike manner; and
an envelope, wherein the string of capsules is encased in the envelope;
wherein at least a first one of the at least three capsules is an A-type capsule which encapsulates a portion of an A-component of a hardenable multi-component mass and wherein at least a second one of the at least three capsules is a B-type capsule which encapsulates a portion of a B-component of the hardenable multi-component mass.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The package according to claim 16, wherein the envelope is a closed-wall tube and wherein the string of capsules extends parallel to the closed-wall tube.

### Claim 18 (depends on 16)

The package according to claim 16, wherein the envelope is a heat shrink tube.

### Claim 19 (depends on 16)

The package according to claim 16, wherein a color of the A-type capsule is different from a color of the B-type capsule and wherein the envelope is transparent.

### Claim 20 (depends on 16)

The package according to claim 16, wherein a volume of the A-type capsule is different from a volume of the B-type capsule.

### Claim 21 (depends on 16)

The package according to claim 16, wherein the string of capsules includes at least four capsules, or at least ten capsules, which are disposed next to each other in the threadlike manner.

### Claim 22 (depends on 16)

The package according to claim 16, wherein at least two of the capsules of the at least three capsules are A-type capsules which each encapsulate a portion of the A-component of the hardenable multi-component mass and/or at least two of the capsules of the at least three capsules are B-type capsules which each encapsulate a portion of the B-component of the hardenable multi-component mass.

### Claim 23 (depends on 16)

The package according to claim 16, wherein the A-component is a resin component comprising a resin of the hardenable multi-component mass and wherein the B-component is a hardener component comprising a hardener for curing the resin.

### Claim 24 (depends on 16)

The package according to claim 16, wherein the hardenable multi-component mass is a mortar.

### Claim 25 (depends on 22)

The package according to claim 22, wherein in at least a section of the string of capsules, the A-type capsules and the B-type capsules are arranged in a repetitive pattern.

### Claim 26 (depends on 22)

The package according to claim 22, wherein in at least a section of the string of capsules, the A-type capsules and the B-type capsules are arranged in alternating order.

### Claim 27 (depends on 16)
