The present invention relates a handheld apparatus (100) for spreading material. The handheld apparatus (100) includes a bucket member (102) configured to store the material, and having a closable dispensing opening (114). The handheld apparatus (100) further includes an actuating member (118) disposed on the bucket member (102), and a housing member (120) connected below the bucket member (102). The handheld apparatus (100) further includes a rotating member (122) disposed within the housing member (120) and positioned at a predefined distance from the housing member (120). The rotating member (122) is operably associated with the actuating member (118) to receive rotary movement therefrom. The predefined distance of the rotating member (122) from the housing member (120) is greater than maximum size of the material passing through the dispensing opening (114).本發明係關於一種用於播撒物料的手持裝置(100)。該手持裝置(100)包括一桶構件(102),被配置以儲存物料,且該桶構件(102)具有可關閉的一配料開口(114)。該手持裝置(100)進一步包括:一致動構件(118),設置在該桶構件(102)上;以及一殼體構件(120),連接於該桶構件(102)下方。該手持裝置(100)還包括一旋轉構件(122),設置在該殼體構件(120)內且位在與該殼體構件(120)具有一預定距離的位置。該旋轉構件(122)與該致動構件(118)係可操作性地相關聯,以從該致動構件(118)接收旋轉運動。該旋轉構件(122)與該殼體構件(120)之間的該預定距離大於通過該配料開口(114)之物料的最大尺寸。102‧‧‧桶構件104‧‧‧基底部分114‧‧‧配料開口120‧‧‧殼體構件122‧‧‧旋轉構件132‧‧‧關閉構件146‧‧‧小齒輪148‧‧‧垂直延伸的驅動軸150‧‧‧葉輪152‧‧‧平板部分154‧‧‧葉片158‧‧‧頂壁160‧‧‧底壁162‧‧‧側壁
