ABSTRACT:
The invention discloses a working method for giving a localized worn-out aspect to articles of clothing made of denim materials, which consists in treating the article of clothing (6, 70) fitted on a supporting manikin (2, 3) by means of the abrasive action of one or more rotating brushes (20, 21) contrasting against said article of clothing. The machine suited to carry out said working method comprises:
one or more manikins (2, 3) supporting the article of clothing to be treated (6, 70), each consisting of a supple structure (4, 5) suited to be inflated through inflating means (7, 8, 14) so that it will adhere to the article of clothing (6, 70), so as to simulate the shape it will acquire once it is worn by a person;
one or more rotating brushes (20, 21) attached to slides (24, 25) and sliding along rails (52, 53);
a structure (10) for supporting and moving the manikins (2, 3) suited to bring the manikins into the area of action of the rotating brushes and to remove them from there after the treatment has been completed.
