Benefits of technology

The invention provides a method for prematurely wearing a fabric garment made of colored denim canvas by rotating the garment in a rotating machine without being wetted or dampened, and injecting ozone gas into the interior of the machine to bleach the garment and give it a wear effect. This method has zero water consumption and reduces electricity usage by more than 50% because only a single machine cycle is required. Other features of the process include the use of an aqueous solution of a polymerizable resin, prior to the ozone treatment, the formation of folds and wear on the garment, and the use of abrasive materials in the interior of the machine. The system includes a rotating machine with a dry garment, an ozone gas generator, and a means for injecting the ozone into the machine to bleach the garment.

Problems solved by technology

The main disadvantage of these different finishing techniques is that they require a large consumption of water and electric energy.
In addition, the chemical discoloring substances possibly used are potentially a source of pollution that is necessary to treat before any release.

Embodiment Construction

[0025]The method in accordance with the invention aims to obtain, in the treated garments, an appearance of a garment that has been used for a long period, and notably a washed out garment (bleached) with traces of wear. More particularly but not exclusively, the method is suitable for the treatment of garments made of denim (or jeans) colored (for example in indigo blue, black, . . . ) such as pants, jackets, shirts, etc.

[0026]Referring to the attached FIG. 1, one or multiple G garments are placed in a machine 1 comprising a drum 10. The latter is rotated around its axis of symmetry 100 by the means of an electric motor 11. In an implementation variation not shown, a single machine 1 can comprise multiple drums 10 rotated by one or multiple electric motors. A window or trap door enables access to the interior of the drum 10 to place and / or remove the garment G.

[0027]The garment G is placed in the dry state in the interior of the drum 10. Throughout the cycle of rotation of the drum...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method of premature wear of a fabric garment made of a colored denim canvas, wherein the aforementioned garment is placed into a rotating machine including a drum, characterized by the fact that the aforementioned method comprises a step during which the garment is rotated in the drum without being wetted or dampened, ozone gas being injected simultaneously into the interior of the aforementioned drum so as to bleach the aforementioned garment and give it a wear effect.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]An object of the invention is a method and a system enabling premature wearing of a fabric garment made of “jean” material or colored denim canvas.[0002]The invention relates to the technical treatment of garments to give them a unique texture and structure.PRIOR ART[0003]Denim canvas, or “jean” fabric, is widely used in the apparel industry, primarily for the manufacture of trousers, jackets, shirts or other items. This fabric is often colored, generally with a typical indigo blue color, more or less dark. These garments may be subject to a process of washing out with the purpose of wearing them prematurely in order to give to them a “vintage” or antique appearance, as if they had been worn and washed for numerous years.[0004]Different techniques enable premature wear of such garments. The most common technique comprises placing them in rotary drum machines more or less filled water and containing abrasive materials or not, generally pumice stones. A rep...
