THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



(June 1, 1911. 



THE UATEL&IN CLAXP. 



PoR attaching hose to metal pipe, nozzles, etc., the Catelain 

 Clamp, illustrated herewith, is said to possess special advantages. 

 It takes but a few seconds to attach or detach it and the pressure 

 it exercises on the hose is even over all its circumference. It is

clainie<l that it cannot slip, loosen or cut the hose and th.nl in 

 application it is simplicity itself. It is illustrated herewith de- 

 tached and in operation. \.\. C. Catelain, 1447 Indiana avenue, 

 Chicago, Illinois.) 



SHOOTING WITH RUBBER PROJECTILES. 



The pop-gun is a time-honored toy that every country boy 

 knows how to make from a piece of elder wood. The gun 

 illustrated herewith is also a pop-gun, and like its venerable an- 

 cestor creates a disturbance with the aid of a cork attached to 

 a string. But it does something else, something that will endear 

 it to the heart of every small boy who has the intuitive love for 

 something that will "shoot." It propels a small soft-rubber ball 



THE LATEST HIGH ARCH EUBBEE. 



With a view to meeting the demand for a rubber that will 

 tit the shoes with 1>'4 or 2-inch heels fashion dictates for ladies' 

 wear, the High Arch Croquet; illustrated herewith; has been 



placed on the market. 

 It is a new last, the 

 latest in "high arch"' 

 rubbers, its graceful lines 

 being especially adapted 

 to appeal to the femi- 

 nme taste for the beauti- 

 ful, while its form 

 makes the wearing of 

 rubbers with the pre- 

 vailing styles of high- 

 heel shoes practicable

 and comfortable. 



The Markham Air Rifle. 



(9-16 of an inch in diameter) with astonishing accuracy, for 25 

 feet, and furnishes excellent sport for target shooting, shooting 

 at military tops, etc. It is very well made and handsomely fin- 

 ished, presenting an attractive appearance and sells at a very 

 low price. It should be added that the rubber ball, which is soft, 

 will not do any damage. [The Markham Air Rifle Co., Plym- 

 outh, Michigan.] 



THE "TUXEDO" LADIES' RUBBER. 



In the accompanying illustration a rubber shoe for ladies' wear 



IS shown that is expected to prove popular. The top of Jersey 



cloth, with button effect, the short vamp and high heel, make it 



suitable for the prevailing mode in foot wear and give it an attrac-

tive appearance. The fact that the "Tuxedo" rubber— which is 

 the name conferred upon it — is fleece lined, will adapt it particu- 

 larly for evening wear, during the winter months. [The Beacon 

 Falls Rubber Co., Beacon Falls, Conn.] 



Sico Yield Gauge. 



THE SICO YIELD GAUGE. 



In determining the hardness, flexibility or elasticity of india- 

 ruljber the methods commonly pursued are biting the sam- 

 ple with the teeth, compressing it between the finger and thumb, 

 or sticking the linger nail into it, which certainly savored suffi- 

 ciently of rule of thumb to 

 be designated as empirical and 

 possessed the serious disad- 

 vantage of permitting of no 

 record or communication be- 

 tween parties interested as to 

 hardness or softness of the 

 specimen. 



The Sico Yield Gauge, illus- 

 trated herewith, reduces this 

 test to a uniform, scientifically 

 accurate and recordable cer- 

 tainty. When its sensitive 

 blunt point is pressed against 

 the rubber to be tested the 

 amount of pressure required to 

 force it into the rubber, in 

 other words, the resistance it 

 encounters, is recorded on the 

 dial on a graduated scale. 

 .Normally, the indicating hand 

 is stationary at 100; when a very soft substance is under test, 

 there may be only a deflection of S degrees, which indicates the 

 extent of the resistance to yield, or, in other words, the hard- 

 ness of the substance. The cost of the instrument is small, it 

 is compact and easy to operate and understand and as a meas- 

 urer of pliability is likely to prove useful to buyers and users 

 of rubber in every form. [Shore Instrument & Mfg. Co., 555 

 West 22d street. New York] 



THE "MYSTIC" SPRAY NOZZLE. 



The Mystic nozzle, which we illustrate herewith, is advertised 

 as "the cheapest spray nozzle on the inarket." The manufacturer 

 claims that it gives an almost perfect spray with a good, full 

 stream. It doesn't shut off the water. This, however, would be 



considered by most rubber 

 men to be an advantage 

 rather than otherwise as it 

 saves the hose. The Mystic 

 is full size and weight and is 

 probably the most popular 

 spray nozzle on the market to- 

 day owing to its efficiency and 

 low price. [W. D. Allen 

 Manufacturing Co., Chicago, 

 Illinois.]
