Abstract: A method of and device for applying a liquid coating to the threads and only the bearing face of a threaded nut and the resulting coated nut are provided. The method includes providing a pumping mechanism that has a container containing the liquid lubricant and a pumping mechanism connected with the container. The pumping mechanism includes a liquid ejecting device having an actuatable delivery mechanism. A foraminous pad supports the face of a nut that is to have liquid lubricant applied thereto. A nut to be coated with the lubricant is placed on the foraminous pad and thereafter the delivery mechanism is actuated to eject liquid onto the threads and the foraminous pad to provide a nut which has coating on only the threads and on the bearing surface or face.
