Summary:
Let $A$ be a Weil algebra. The bijection between all natural operators lifting vector fields from $m$-manifolds to the bundle functor $K^A$ of Weil contact elements and the subalgebra of fixed elements $SA$ of the Weil algebra $A$ is determined and the bijection between all natural affinors on $K^A$ and $SA$ is deduced. Furthermore, the rigidity of the functor $K^A$ is proved. Requisite results about the structure of $SA$ are obtained by a purely algebraic approach, namely the existence of nontrivial $SA$ is discussed.
