Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a denim vintage wash device that can effectively wash denim clothes without damaging their fibers, while promoting their yield through friction elements made of bamboo roots. The device does not wear down easily, and the friction elements are easily available at a low cost without using natural pumice stones. The device also ensures water efficiency and environment-friendliness by rinsing the denim clothes with clear water.

Problems solved by technology

However, there are lots of drawbacks observed in the stone-wash step during which denim clothes are rubbed by pumice stones, such as impact wear on the washing drum by the pumice stones, off-line damage to the denim clothes, and the discharge of waste water containing metal that can cause pollution to the water source.
In addition, natural environment and resources are jeopardized because natural pumice stones frayed quickly during stone wash are exploited in bulk.
Furthermore, residual fine sands from denim clothes rubbed by pumice stones need to be washed out by clear water but still stay in either waste water to jam drainage facilities or in clothes not rinsed totally to injure a user's body.

Abstract

A denim vintage wash device includes a washing drum and a plurality of friction elements. The washing drum is rotationally installed in a machine body that is connected with an inlet tube through which water is fed into the washing drum. The plurality of friction elements are accommodated in the washing drum and consist of bamboo pieces. In practice, the washing drum in which denim clothes to be contacted by the friction elements are placed and water is filled is enabled to rotate. Then, the denim clothes rubbed by the friction elements are faded and / or outworn.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention[0001]The present invention relates to a denim vintage wash device and more particularly, to a wash device with friction elements through which denim clothes are distressed or outworn during washing.2. Description of the Related Art[0002]Denim clothes preferred by consumers are outworn in advance. Thus, denim clothes are generally processed in a pre-wash or stone-wash step for denim clothes faded and used unevenly or even frayed partially.[0003]The traditional stone-wash step for denim clothes is completed in a washing drum in which natural pumice stones (for example, kaolin, pseudo topaz or artificial stone) to rub denim clothes are placed for denim clothes faded and / or outworn. However, there are lots of drawbacks observed in the stone-wash step during which denim clothes are rubbed by pumice stones, such as impact wear on the washing drum by the pumice stones, off-line damage to the denim clothes, and the discharge of waste wate...
