Abstract: A foldable multipurpose container. The foldable multipurpose container may include a plurality of wall components, including a top; and a plurality of unfolded container shape retention rod assemblies. At least one of the plurality of wall components may be formed of a soft sheet material. At least one of the unfolded container shape retention rod assemblies may be bendable and resilient. The foldable multipurpose container may be capable of an unfolded state and a folded state.

Abstract: A closed circuit solvent stripping and reclaiming apparatus for recovering solvent from filters used in dry cleaning machines comprising a steam cabinet (2), and condenser (3), a water solvent separator (4), a recirculating tank (5), a blower (6) and a carbon bed adsorber (7). Dry cleaning filters are disassembled and their constituents separated and placed in foraminous trays (9) inside the steam cabinet (2). The filter material is agitated with a shaker and alternately subjected to dry heat, vaporized recycled solvent saturated water, and live steam. Steam and solvent vapors derived from the filters are conducted to a condenser (3) for liquification followed by separation in the water solvent separator (4). Solvent is thereby reclaimed and solvent saturated water is collected and stored in the recycling tank for reintroduction into the steam cabinet for subsequent stripping cycle.
