APPARATO SEMIAUTOMATICO E METODO PER IL TRATTAMENTO SUPERFICIALE CON SORGENTE LASER DI CAPI DI ABBIGLIAMENTO

A semiautomatic apparatus (1) for surface treatment with a laser source of items of clothing (C), e.g. denim jeans, wherein the items (C) have front (SF), rear (SB) and side (SL) surfaces, which apparatus (1) comprises: support means (5) for supporting the items (C) rotatable about substantially vertical axes (Y1, Y2), movement means (11) for moving said support means (5) about said vertical axes (Y1, Y2) and laser means (16) for surface treatment of the items (C). The laser means (16) comprise at least one first (17) and one second laser generators (18) for directing laser beams (B1, B2) respectively to the front surface (SF), the rear surface (SB) and/or the side surfaces (SL) of the items (C) to be treated. The support means (5) comprise a main shaft (7) having a substantially vertical axis (Y1) from which a plurality of substantially radial arms (6) radially extends and respective supports (9) for individual items (C) are rotatably mounted to secondary shafts (10) also vertically extending from the ends (8) of the arms (6).
