A braided strainer for a draw line, and method of forming same. The strainer comprises a frame in the form of a pair of spaced planar plates , one being a solid end plate and the other having a control aperture. A plurality of spaced, parallel rods of similar length are positioned near the peripheries of the plates and secured and extending between the plates. A plurality of cylindrical walls o f braided strands of strainer medium, are provided, the braided cylindrical walls havi ng similarly spaced rod-receiving holes extending longitudinally in spaced fashion throug h the strands of strainer medium. These walls are contiguously stacked on the plat es to extend between them. The plate having the central aperture permits flow of fluid drawn through the cylindrical walls during operation of the strainer. That plate has associated with it a connector to releasably secure the strainer to a mating connector on a free end of the draw line. |
