ABSTRACT:
A method of preventing feet from becoming hot and muggy by a process which is practical, comfortable, and beneficial. The method permits the subject to move about outdoors in the hot sun and/or indoors in a non-airconditioned building, during the summer months without the feet becoming hot or muggy. The method cools the subject's feet while he is running, climbing, jumping, standing, or sitting still. The method does not limit the subject's ambulation, neither does it restrain his body movements, nor does it restrict his mobility to a specific geographical area. The method contemplates and includes within its scope a pair of `foot coolers` which consist of a pair of `cool shoes` specially constructed with high outer platform soles that contain sufficient insulation and adequate vacant spaced (chamber) to house a durable, removable, light-weight, `cool container` filled with a suitable, inexpensive refrigerant. The heat transfer from the feet above the separation of the inner sole passes through and on down to the `cool container` where it is absorbed by the chilly refrigerant thereby cooling the feet above the inner sole of the `cool shoe`. The method also increases the feet comfort of the subject by preventing the feet from expanding and by neutralizing the factors that cause feet perspiration and concomitant unpleasant feet odor.
The present method of preventing hot and muggy feet and cooling hot and muggy feet, is also applicable to the utilization of a miniature, mechanical, refrigerating device that uses a pump manipulated by the movement of the feet and that contains the basic parts of generator, separator, condenser, evaporator, and absorber.
