Abstract

An integratable cooling system, with a pump, having a diaphragm, a spring, at least one inlet check value, and at least one outlet check valve; a containment box with a pump located inside the box, and at least one tube, where this tube is in fluid communication with the containment box. Preferably, this tube terminates with at least one air intake and/or a plurality of outlets.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An integratable cooling system, comprising:
 a pump, having an inner volume and a bottom surface, a spring having a top area and a first height, a spring seating area, and a spring bumper guard having a width and a second height,
 said spring seating area is sized to receive said spring, 
 said spring rests in said spring seating area, 
 said inner volume being bounded by a sealing area comprising the outer perimeter of said pump; 
 wherein said first height is greater than said second height, 
   a first tube, having at least one air inlet and a first check valve,
 wherein said at least one air inlet and said first check valve are in fluid 
 communication with said inner volume via said sealing area, 
   a second tube, having at least one air outlet and a second check valve,
 wherein said at least one air outlet and said second check valve are in fluid 
 communication with said inner volume via said sealing area, 
   said at least one inlet being located above said at least one air outlet.   
     
     
         2 . The integratable cooling system of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one additional tube, having at least one opening and an additional check valve,
 wherein said at least one opening and said additional check valve are in fluid communication with said inner volume via said sealing area.   
     
     
         3 . The integratable cooling system of  claim 1 , wherein said pump is depressible. 
     
     
         4 . The integratable cooling system of  claim 1 , wherein said system is integrated in a shoe. 
     
     
         5 . The integratable cooling system of clam  1 , wherein said system is integrated into a sandal. 
     
     
         6 . The integratable cooling system of  claim 1 , wherein said integratable cooling system is capable of drawing air in through said at least one air inlet, and out through said at least one air outlet. 
     
     
         7 . The integratable cooling system of  claim 1 , wherein said sealing area is constructed substantially out of rubber. 
     
     
         8 . The integratable cooling system of  claim 1 , further comprising a scented agent, disposed in said inner volume. 
     
     
         9 . The integratable cooling system of  claim 1 , wherein said spring bumper guard is adorned on bottom surface. 
     
     
         10 . A cooling shoe, comprising:
 a shoe, having
 a sole, 
 a vamp, 
 a quarter, 
 a heel; 
   an integrated cooling system, comprising:
 a pump, having an inner volume and a bottom surface, a spring having a top area and a first height, a seating area, and a spring bumper guard having a width and a second height,
 said spring bumper guard is adorned on bottom surface,
 wherein said first height is greater than said second height, 
 
 said spring seating area is sized to receive said spring, 
 said spring rests in said spring seating area, 
 said inner volume being bounded by a sealing area comprising the outer perimeter of said pump; 
 
 a first tube, having at least one air inlet and a first check valve,
 wherein said at least one air inlet and said first check valve are in fluid 
 communication with said inner volume via said sealing area, 
 
 a second tube, having at least one air outlet and a second check valve,
 wherein said at least one air outlet and said second check valve are in fluid 
 communication with said inner volume via said sealing area, 
 
 said at least one inlet being located above said at least one air outlet. 
   
     
     
         11 . The cooling shoe of  claim 10 , wherein said pump is integrated into said heel. 
     
     
         12 . The cooling shoe of  claim 10 , wherein said pump is located below the ball of a user's foot, when in use. 
     
     
         13 . The cooling shoe of  claim 10 , further comprising at least one perforation located on said shoe. 
     
     
         14 . The cooling shoe of  claim 10 , wherein said first tube and/or said second tube are constructed out of a flexible material. 
     
     
         15 . The cooling shoe of  claim 10 , wherein said first tube and/or said second tube are constructed out of a non-flexible material. 
     
     
         16 . The cooling show of  claim 10 , further comprising at least one additional tube, having at least one opening and an additional check valve,
 wherein said at least one opening and said additional check valve are in fluid   communication with said inner volume via said sealing area.   
     
     
         17 . A method of cooling down a shoe, comprising the steps of:
 a) providing, a cooling shoe, comprising:
 a shoe, having 
 a sole, 
 a vamp, 
 a quarter, 
 a heel; 
 an integrated cooling system, comprising:
 a pump, having an inner volume and a bottom surface, a spring having a top area and a first height, a seating area, and a spring bumper guard having a width and a second height,
 said spring bumper guard is adorned on bottom surface, 
  wherein said first height is greater than said second height, 
 said spring seating area is sized to receive said spring, 
 said spring rests in said spring seating area, 
 said inner volume being bounded by a sealing area comprising the outer perimeter of said pump; 
 
 a first tube, having at least one air inlet and a first check valve,
 wherein said at least one air inlet and said first check valve are in 
 fluid communication with said inner volume via said sealing area,
