English term or phrase: pot nozzle
Nozzle could be some type of "gicleur" in my case, although as it's only seen in a parts list, I could not even see what kind of "gicleur" that might be.
As to pot, I'm lost I think.
This is seen in a parts lists related to a trolley (for a hoist and trolley combination).
Could pot be related to pot metal in here or is it describing a part or function in either the trolley or the hoist seeing they have been some times adding parts for the hoist into the trolley area by mistake, I'm keeping my mind open.

Explanation:
not an answer, just a guide maybe for you or other people to answer

if there is a nozzle (gicleur makes sense here) there is a liquid (or semi-liquid) of some kind
the pot could be the holder of this liquid - it could even be grease for the equipment, or something else together
hope this helps (a bit, but don't nozzle me if it doesn't ;-)
