Abstract:
A method of making a hydraulic reservoir comprising the steps of:(a) positioning a filter element coupling insert into a mold configured to form a container body defining a container cavity and a filter cavity with a bowl-shaped end; (b) filling the mold with plastic resin; (c) heating the resin while simultaneously rotating the mold about two axes; and (d) cooling the mold to form a one piece hydraulic reservoir with integral filter element coupling insert and having an integral baffle, wherein the baffle includes a pair of substantially planar surfaces converging toward each other toward the mid-line of a container cavity, and wherein the planar surfaces are connected by a radius portion at the end of the converging planar surfaces of the integral baffle.
