Abstract

The present invention discloses a method of releasing a roughened surface of a washed cloth ( 21 ) which can prevent a cloth ( 21 ) with fibers protruding therefrom from being roughened due to fiber lumping after washing. The method of releasing the roughened surface of the washed cloth ( 21 ) generated when the cloth ( 21 ) is rubbed with wash water filled in a tub ( 10 ) by rotation of a drum ( 20 ) includes a first step of discharging the wash water from the washed cloth ( 21 ) to the tub ( 10 ), by rotating the drum ( 20 ) so that the washed cloth ( 21 ) can stick to the drum ( 20 ), and a second step of solving fiber lumping of the washed cloth ( 21 ), by using the motion of the washed cloth ( 21 ) by a frictional force between the rotated drum ( 20 ) and the washed cloth ( 21 ) by rotating the drum ( 20 ).

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method of releasing a roughened surface of a washed cloth in a washing course, comprising:
 a first step of discharging wash water from the washed cloth to a tub, by rotating a drum so that the washed cloth can stick to the drum; and   a second step of solving fiber lumping of the washed cloth, by rotating the drum so that the washed cloth can perform the notion in the drum by a frictional force between the rotated drum and the washed cloth.   
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the second step comprises a process of applying thermal energy to the washed cloth by supplying steam into the drum. 
   
   
       3 . The method of either  claim 1  or  2 , wherein the second step comprises a process of applying kinetic energy to the washed cloth by supplying wind into the drum. 
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the wind is hot wind. 
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the washed cloth comprises a towel. 
   
   
       6 . A method of releasing a roughened surface of a washed cloth in a washing course comprising the combination of the steps of: supplying wash water into a tub;
 rubbing the cloth with the wash water filled in the tub by rotating a drum; and   discharging the wash water from the tub,   wherein the washing course comprises a fiber lumping solving process including:   a first step of discharging the wash water from the washed cloth to the tub, by rotating the drum so that the washed cloth can stick to the drum; and   a second step of solving fiber lumping of the washed cloth, by rotating the drum so that the washed cloth can perform the notion in the drum by a frictional force between the rotated drum and the washed cloth.   
   
   
       7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the washing course comprises the fiber lumping solving process at least twice. 
   
   
       8 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the washing course comprises the steps of:
 supplying the wash water into the tub;   rubbing the cloth with the wash water filled in the tub by rotating the drum;   discharging the wash water from the tub; and   a fiber lumping solving process, the above steps and the fiber lumping solving process being repeatedly carried out.   
   
   
       9 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the washing course comprises, at least three times, a step of discharging the wash water from the tub, and the fiber lumping solving process is performed every time after the above step. 
   
   
       10 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the washing course comprises, at least once, a step of discharging the wash water from the tub, and the fiber lumping solving process is always performed after the above step. 
   
   
       11 . The method of any one of  claims 6  to  10 , wherein the fiber lumping solving process comprises at least one of the steps of:
 applying thermal energy to the washed cloth by supplying steam into the drum, and   applying kinetic energy to the washed cloth by supplying wind into the drum.
