Abstract: A spreader assembly for spreading materials such as, for example, salt seed or fertilizer. The spreader assembly includes a motor and transmission drive assembly which is mounted outside of the hopper to protect the motor and drive assembly from corrosive materials in the hopper. The transmission motor assembly allows a small motor with high revolutions per minute to be used and still supply the necessary torque needed to properly spread material. The spreader assembly also includes a modular mounting frame system which allows the frame to be mounted to vehicles of different sizes. The frame allows pivoting of the spreader about one axis and latching to a latching bar to secure the spreader assembly in the latched position. Rail mounting brackets are disclosed which permit mounting of the frame to the bed rails of a vehicle without the need to drill holes in to the bed rail.

Abstract: Disclosed is a nozzle for lubrication, which comprises a substantially oval metallic mounting plate having a bolt-inserting hole at one end of the mounting plate and a plug body-inserting hole with plural protruded pieces at the other end of the mounting plate. A plug body made of a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic is insert-molded so that the protruded pieces of the plug body-inserting hole are embedded in a flange portion formed at a lower portion of the plug body and nozzle holes with different phases are at an upper portion of the plug body.
