A plating apparatus includes a plating tank and a plating unit that performs electrolytic plating on an object. The plating unit includes a workpiece passage region including a partition wall that allows passage of the plating solution but does not allow passage of the object, the workpiece passage region passing the object from above toward below, an injection unit that injects the plating solution from below toward above, a mixing unit that mixes the plating solution injected by the injection unit and the object to be plated passing through the workpiece passage region, an anode outside the workpiece passage region, a cathode inside the workpiece passage region including a hollow region through which a mixed fluid of the plating solution and the object to be plated passes from below toward above, and a guidance unit that guides the mixed fluid to the workpiece passage region.

A method for subjecting garment accessories to a surface electrolytic treatment provides various metallic colors to metallic garment accessories in a cost effective manner. The method can provide a first metallic color on one side of outer surface of the garment accessory and provide a second metallic color on the other side of the outer surface, by placing one or more metallic garment accessories in an electrolytic solution in a non-contact state with an anode and a cathode for passing electric current through the electrolytic solution, passing electric current through the electrolytic solution and generating a bipolar phenomenon on the garment accessory.

A rotational surface treating device with a high treatment efficiency that allows a treatment liquid to be discharged in a short time is provided. When a treatment bath 2 is rotated, parts 20 contact an electrode 50 to be electroplated. In this event, a plating liquid 16 is used as circulated by a pump P. The plating liquid 16 is discharged to the outside through a gap in a side wall 80 for replacement of the plating liquid 16 or the like. During discharge, the plating liquid 16 is not circulated by the pump P. The gap 8 which is formed in the side wall 80 is formed to be smaller than the minimum dimension of the parts 20 on the inner side. The gap 8 is formed to be wider toward the outer side. Thus, water is discharged immediately.
