Abstract: The invention features three types of shielding for rotary spreaders. The shields protect the user against spreader blow-back, i.e., most materials that are radially thrust outwardly from the rotary paddle of the spreader, are blocked from impinging upon the operator. The different shields of this invention are: (a) a molded, thin, clear, plastic plate; (b) a V-shaped, thin, clear, plastic plate; and (c) a rectangular-shaped, wrap-around, thin, clear, plastic housing having a protective top plate. Each shield plate attaches to the tubular frame at the rear of the spreader by removable, semi-circular tube/conduit fasteners for ease of assembly or removal. The shield plate can also be attached by permanently fixtured screw fasteners.
