Abstract: A small parts abrasion cleaning basket having a tubular neck portion and a tubular main body housing. The bottom end of the neck portion has an outlet port that is in communication with the top end of the main body housing. A wire screen having a concave top surface has its outer edges secured to the inner wall surface of the main body housing. The area between the top edge of the main body housing and the top surface of the wire screen forms an abrasion chamber for cleaning small parts preparatory to painting, coating, etc. The small parts abrasion cleaning basket would be used inside an abrasive blast cleaning cabinet where it would be held by a person's hand inserted into rubber or plastic gloves within the cabinet.
