A(V r “ Improvements in Electropathic Socks for Boots and Shoes.’’ We, Jonas Anidjar Eomain of Brunswick House, Brunswick Place, City Ed. E.C., Manufacturer, and Stella Sarah Anidjah of 355 Essex Ed., Canon- bury N., Spinster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows: — This invention relates to electropathic socks for boots and shoes, the object being to provide means for generating a slight electric current which may be passed through the portion of the body in contact therewith or in close proximity thereto. The invention consists in providing in the desired position or positions in the body of the sock a number of strips of copper and zinc or the like spaced apart but connected in pairs or in series and arranged so that the perspiration of the body will cause the required current to be generated. In carrying out the invention the sock for a boot or shoe is made up from felt or other textile substance mounted or bound to a backing or undersole of card¬ board, or asbestos, horse-hair or other absorbent material. In a position cor¬ responding to the ball of the foot a number of thin strips of copper and zinc or the like are alternately disjDOsed with spaces between them. The strips may at intervals pass through slits in the felt so that they are held securely in position. Each pair of stnps may be connected at the one or both ends, as for instance by turning the ends over transverse strips, or the whole of the strips may be con¬ nected in series in a similar manner. TJie connections may be made beneath the felt, the ends of the strips being turned in through slits in the same. If desired the strips may be let in below the surface of the felt so as not to cause inconvenient projections. Dated this I9th day of September, 1905. JONAS ANIDJAE EOMAIN. STELLA SAEAH ANIDJAH.
