Non-contaminating paint strainer

摘要

A non-contaminating paint strainer is comprised of a conical receptacle having a conical tapering side wall. The side wall has an inner surface and an outer surface. The conical receptacle defines a lower filtration portion having an aperture provided with reinforcing ribs formed integral with the side wall and extending into the aperture. A filtration mesh screen is secured to the outer surface of the tapering side wall adjacent the aperture and to an outer surface of the reinforcing ribs by glue applied solely to the outer surface of the side wall and outer surface of the reinforcing rib, whereby paint being filtered by the conical receptacle will be in contact solely with the inner surface, free of the glue. Any ink printing is provided on the outer surface of the conical side wall above the mesh screen.
