BALI. WITH FEATURES AND PROJECTIVE TONGUE 



THIS toy is formed of a hollow spherical rubber body, which 

 is molded to represent a human head with nose, eyes, 

 ears, and hair either stamped, painted or molded there- 

 on; and an elliptical-shaped opening to provide a moulh. 

 The tongue is of thinner rubber than the ball, colored red, 

 tapering on one end, and the open end 

 is secured to the ball inside the mouth- 

 opening by vulcanizing or other suit- 

 able method. 



Upon squeezing or depressing the 

 sides of the ball with the fingers, tlit- 

 tongue is forced outward by the air 

 compressed therein; while, when the 

 pressure is released, air suction with- 

 draws the tongue into the ball. The 

 "tongue-ball," when depressed, simu- 

 lates the appearance of a head stick- 

 ing out the tongue. 



It is, of course, possible to mold 

 any desired face, from that of an at- 

 tractive child to one of a grotesque 

 clown. In this way a line of distinctly amusing and enter- 

 taining toys may be put out, all employing some application 

 of the darting tongue. — United States patent No. 1,352,047. Ru- 

 dolf \V. Boje, Jr., 106 Goembel avenue, Buffalo, New York.

ELECTRICAL CLIPPER WITH HARD RUBBER HANDLE AND KNOBS 



Of interest to the artist of shears and razors is a new electric 

 hair clipper which is driven by a flexible shaft connecting at tlic 



end of one handle. The 

 mechanism for oscillating the 

 upper cutting plate is of 

 novel construction. A verti- 

 cal lever, pinned at its top, 

 swings the plate back and 

 forth. The blade angle is ad- 

 justed by pressure of the 

 CoFFM.Ax Electric Kair Cutter hand against a spring. Al 



with many electrical devices in practical use, the handle and the 

 two large thumb knobs are of hard rubber. — The Barbers' Elec- 

 tric Specialty Co., 4204 Troost avenue, Kansas City, Missouri. 



RUBBER SHAVING AND LATHER CUPS 



A rubber bowl-shapcd shavins-cup having a circular opening 

 in the bottom of the cup, into which a stick of shaving soap is 

 inserted, will be of interest to the clumsy man who is con- 

 tinually chipping and cracking the highly 

 ornamented china shaving cup with which 

 women so delight in supplying him. The 

 soap can be removed after using, and re- 

 turned to the metal con- 

 tainer in which it is pur- 

 chased, while the cup is 

 easily washed and, being 

 flexible, occupies little 

 space. The lather-cup 

 differs from the shaving- 

 cup in that it has a large 

 base on which are small rubber massage projections, and into 

 the circular recess in the inside bottom of the cup may be 

 fitted a small piece of soap. — ^United States patents Nos. 1,369,766 

 and 1,369,767. Lewis A. Amis, Muskogee, Oklahoma.

HARD RUBBER CARBOY FOR ACIDS 



The illustration shows a 29-gallon carboy made of all hard rub- 

 ber. This carboy is used for handling strong acids, strong alkalies 

 and other corrosive liquids such as nitric acid, sulphuric acid, hy- 

 drochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, sodium 

 or potassium hydrate, and blue, white or 

 green vitriol, etc. The carboy is fitted with 

 a tapered stopper which prevents the acid 

 fumes from escaping. The manufacturer 

 claims that as far as known this is the 

 largest one-piece closed article ever pro- 

 duced from hard rubber. The process em- 

 ployed in manufacturing requires the skill 

 uf an experienced worker. 



As many violently active acids and cor- 

 rosive liquids have absolutely no effect 

 upon hard rubber this carboy is in great 

 demand. In addition to the carboy this 

 company manufactures pails, funnels, 

 scoops, dippers, measures, tanks, etc. 



This equipment is used for the handling 

 and conveying of fruit juices, preserves, 

 mustard, near beer and many other prod- 

 ucts in addition to acids and alkalies.— American Hard Rubber 

 Co., 10 Mercer street. New York, New York.

IMPROVED PORTABLE HAND LAMP 



.A. new corrosion-proof type of portable hand 

 lamp for use in damp and corrosive situations, es- 

 pecially in chemical works, boiler houses, etc., is 

 guaranteed to have no screws or wing nuts to affix 

 the guard, no screws to secure the leather hanger, 

 no porcelain parts to get broken, no broken con- 

 nections, no special tools or keys required, no cor- 

 roded terminals and no shocks. All parts are 

 fireproof, heat resisting and interchangeable. It 

 will take carbon lamps up to SO c.p. and metal 

 lilament up to 60 watts. The lamp has a rubber 

 gasket and a rubber cushion. The illustration 

 shows a cross-sectional view. — J. C. White, 1 

 Cumberland street, Manchester, England. 



AN ATTRACTIVE BROGUE RUBBEJ^ 



Distinctly in line with the movement to induce Canadians to 

 buy goods made in Canada is the apparent effort on the part 

 of Canadian manufacturers to see that their products are in every 



respect as good as those 

 made in the States. 



The accompanying il- 

 lustration gives an idea 

 of how closely the pop- 

 ularity of the leather 

 brogue has been fol- 

 lowed by footwear 

 manufacturers. It 

 shows a new-style rub- 

 ber, a light-brown cro- 

 quet with a lavender 

 lining and the wing tip and heel fo.xing perforated and pinked 

 in exact imitation of the much-favored brogue. This rubber, 

 worn with a low-heeled walking boot having a medium-weight 

 sole, produces almost exactly the efl^'ect of wearing a real brogue, 

 and at considerably less cost. — Ames Holden McCready Limited, 

 Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
