Application August 23, 1934, Serial N0. 741,155 1 Claim. (01. 36- 3) This invention relates tomeans for aerating the vided with an aperture reinforced by a vent or human foot and has more particular reference eye 9. The heel III is recessed to accommodate to a ventilating device such as is adapted to be the bulb II. The bulb is here shown in the form built into a shoe for the purpose of circulating air of a hollow block-like body which is fashioned to 5 to cool the foot and keep it substantially dry. fit neatly in the recess. The top wail thereof is 5 It is a, matter of common knowledge that many provided with a riser I2 here shown as of crosspersons suffer with foot troubles directly traceshaped form. The-heel of the wearer is adapted able to moist and perspiring feet.

In Referring first to the single form of the inveneither instance, however, we are concerned with tion shown in Fig. 1, it will be observed that the the provision of a pump which is mounted in the numeral I designates a conventional shoe having sole and heel portion of the shoe and which inan insole 8 which insole is here shown as procludes a'suction bulb depressible by the action 55 01 the heel during walking which bulb is connected with either one or two pipes or tubes for circulating the air to the desired point. In the present instance, the discharge end of the tube is located just beneath the transverse arch of the foot. This is believed to be the most appropriate place for taking in and discharging the air.
It is thought that persons skilled in the art to which the invention relates will be able to obtain a clear understanding of the invention after considering the description in connection with the drawings. Therefore, a more lengthy description is regarded as unnecessary.
Minor changes in shape, size and rearrangement or details coming within the field oi! invention claimed may be resorted to in actual practice, if desired.
I claim:
In a structure of the class described, a longitudinally arched plate, the longitudinal edges thereof being bent inwardly to denne longitudinally extending tubular sheaves, a pair 01 air circulating tubes mounted in said sheaves, and a hollow block-like compressible rubber bulb having attaching nipples with which the adjacent ends 0! said tubes are connected.
