Abstract

A structure and a filter suitable for a paint spray booth, oven, or a combination booth and oven is described and includes outer walls enclosing the structure, only a portion of which provides the structural support for the booth's walls and roof. The interior of the booth has a plurality of filters on the walls and ceilings for supplying air from essentially the walls and ceiling to provide a more uniform air flow so that the painter is less exposed to vaporizing solvents, and when used as an oven, the heating is more uniform. Each of the filters made of a cloth material held in place by filter frames and may be used with either battens fixed to the frames or removable and held in place in pockets provided in the filter cloth.
