Abstract
A treatment method includes: preparing a vibration applying section including a contact member that has a base and a plurality of protruding portions which are provided so as to protrude from the base and which come into contact with a fabric and including a vibration generation source that applies a vibration to the contact member; and a vibration applying step of, in a state in which the protruding portions are made to be in contact with the fabric, driving the vibration generation source such that the protruding portions vibrate and applying vibration to the fabric via the protruding portions.
Claims8
A treatment method comprising:
- preparing a vibration applying section including a contact member that has a base and a plurality of protruding portions which are provided so as to protrude from the base and which come into contact with a fabric and including a vibration generation source that applies a vibration to the contact member;
- and
- a vibration applying step of, in a state in which the plurality of protruding portions are made to be in contact with the fabric, driving the vibration generation source such that the plurality of protruding portions vibrate and applying the vibration to the fabric via the plurality of protruding portions,
- wherein the fabric is colored by using a pigment before the plurality of protruding portions rotationally come into contact with the fabric,
- the contact member rotates to make the plurality of protruding portions rotationally come into contact with the fabric, and a rotational speed of the contact member is in a range of 1 rpm to 100 rpm, and
- the vibration generation source generates the vibration having a vibration frequency being in a range of 10 Hz to 10000 Hz.
A treatment apparatus comprising:
- a transport section that transports a fabric;
- and
- a vibration applying section including a contact member that has a base and a plurality of protruding portions which are provided so as to protrude from the base and which come into contact with the fabric being transported by the transport section and including a vibration generation source that applies a vibration to the contact member,
- wherein the fabric is colored by using a pigment before the plurality of protruding portions rotationally come into contact with the fabric,
- the contact member rotates to make the plurality of protruding portions rotationally come into contact with the fabric, and a rotational speed of the contact member is in a range of 1 rpm to 100 rpm, and
- the vibration generation source generates the vibration having a vibration frequency being in a range of 10 Hz to 10000 Hz.
