Abstract

A method of manufacturing a stainless steel animal waste and cat waste receptacle comprising: fully laser cutting through the outlines of the vertical wall from at least 1.2 mm gauge 300 Series Austenitic stainless steel plate; fully laser cutting through the outline of the round bottom; partially laser cutting through the outlines of the U-shape entryway; rolling the vertical wall cutout into a cylinder form; rolling the edge of the round bottom to create a round circumferential edge between the vertical wall and round bottom; longitudinal-seam welding the seam of the cylinder vertical wall to join the opposite vertical edge of the cylinder form; circumference-seam welding the round bottom to the cylinder vertical wall to attach the round bottom to the cylindrical vertical wall; milling the interior and exterior; removing the U-shaped entryway and handle openings; and deburring the edges of the top, U-shaped entryway and handle openings.

Claims (12)

1 . A method of manufacturing a stainless steel animal waste receptacle comprising:

fully laser cutting through outlines of a vertical wall from at least 1.2 mm gauge 300 Series Austenitic stainless steel plate;

fully laser cutting through an outline of a round bottom from at least 1.2 mm gauge 300 Series Austenitic stainless steel plate;

partially laser cutting through outlines of a U-shape entryway height no less than ⅓ and no greater than ⅔ of vertical wall height and no wider than 1/10 of circumference;

rolling a vertical wall cutout into a cylinder form;

rolling the edge of the round bottom to create a round circumferential edge between the vertical wall and round bottom;

longitudinal-seam welding a seam of a cylinder vertical wall to join an opposite vertical edge of a cylinder form;

circumference-seam welding the round bottom to the cylinder vertical wall to attach the round bottom to the cylindrical vertical wall;

milling the interior and exterior with a vertical mill brush to create texture on curved surface to increase resistance against scratches;

creating handle openings;

removing the U-shaped entryway and handle openings; and

deburring the edges of the top, U-shaped entryway and handle openings.
