Abstract:
A ventilation apparatus including a pump, a switching unit, and a fluid diffuser is provided. The pump attached to the footwear pumps fluid into and exhausts fluid from a cavity of the footwear. The switching unit in communication with the pump selectively changes modes of operation of the pump. The fluid diffuser connected to the pump within the cavity of the footwear includes a feed pipe for transferring the fluid pumped from the pump to the cavity of the footwear during a pump mode of operation and to transfer the fluid in the cavity of the footwear to an ambient environment external to the footwear during an exhaust mode of operation, for ventilating the footwear. In one or more embodiments, the fluid diffuser includes a diffusing member with one or more openings and/or a fluid distribution channel member for transferring the fluid to and from the cavity of the footwear.

Claim (Index 13):
The method for ventilating the footwear of  claim 12 , wherein a pair of energy converters are in electrical communication with said pair of energy storage devices and said pair of electric pumps, wherein a first energy converter of said pair of energy converters is attached to said ankle section of said footwear, wherein a second energy converter of said pair of energy converters is placed within a sole of said footwear, and wherein said pair of energy converters convert direct current received from said pair of energy storage devices to an alternating current to be supplied to said pair of electric pumps to actuate said electric pumps.
