THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



155 



New Rubber Goods in the Market. 



ANOTHEH "STICK FAST" SHOE. 



EX-GOVERNOR BOURN, of the Bourn Rubber Co., has for 

 years been an inventor and investigator in rubber. He has 

 lately brought out a sandal, ribbed in the inner side of the 

 vamp, designed 

 to be an "in- 

 visible" rubber 

 that will stay 

 on the shoe. 

 The general 

 detail will be 

 seen from the 

 outline draw- 

 ing herewith. 



side is a fabric such as Turkish toweling. Many apphcations 

 of these articles for the toilet will readily suggest themselves, 

 but it may be mentioned that they have been heartily recom- 

 mended by physicians for massage. The belt here illustrated is

A IJUIGE ATOMIZER. 



The accompanying illustration from a recent catalogue of the 

 Russian-American India Rubber Co. (St. Petersburg) indicates 



what probably is the 

 largest atomizer, includ- 

 ing rubber in its make 

 up, that has ever been 

 placed upon the market. 

 Assuming the figure in 

 the engraving to repre- 

 sent a man of average 

 height, an idea of the size 

 of the atomizer may 

 readily be gained, and it 

 is left to the reader who 

 may be interested in 

 articles of this class to 

 decide for what pur- 

 poses the Russian pro- 

 duction may be adapted. 



TIRE CASE LUGGAGE 

 CARRIER. 



A NEW form of lug- 

 gage carrier and one 

 that takes up so little 

 space that it is a very 

 great convenience is 

 being marketed by J. B. 

 Brooks & Co., Limited, 

 Birmingham, England. In 

 fact when it is considered 

 that this luggage carrier 

 fits into the spare tire 

 cover, it may be said practically to fill no space. Its size is such 

 that it can carry inner tubes, clothing, or any article that could 

 naturally find its way into a tire case, and instead of being a 

 burden, it gives the satisfaction of making use of room that 

 heretofore has as good as gone to waste. The carriers are 

 made from tan waterproof canvas lined with linen and fitted 

 with loops for razors, combs, and pockets for sundries. A loop 

 is fitted to it and four straps secure it within the spare tire 

 cover. 



RUBBER SPONGE BATH MIT AND BATH BELT. 



Three illustrations shown herewith relate to novelties the 

 manufacture of which involves the use of sponge rubber. In the 

 case of each of these strong duck is used, with one side covered 

 with a thick layer of rubber sponge, the shape of each article 

 being sufficiently indicated by the engravings. On the other

convenient in size and easy to manipulate and has the advantage 

 of bringing both hands and arms into action, thereby adding 

 to the artificial means of getting health and beauty by exercise. 

 These goods are protected by patents. [Hanover Rubber Co., 

 Limited — Julius Lehmann, American agent. New York.] 



the -easy WALKER" RUBBER HEEL. 



An advantage of the "Easy Walker" rubber heel is that it can 

 be attached permanently to shoes without the aid of cement or 



leveling the heel seat. It is re- 

 ferred to as being made of good 

 wearing rubber, in all sizes for 

 men and women, both full and 

 half heels, and is sold generally 

 by leather and findings dealers in 

 the United States and abroad. It 

 is pointed out that these heels are 

 not sold at as low a price as heels 

 which do not contain the patent 

 spring steel holding plate which 

 forms an important feature of the 

 "Easy Walker." [The Springfield Elastic Tread Co., Springfield, 

 Ohio.] 



THE "COMBINATION" LAWN SPRINKLER. 



The Combination lawn sprinkler shown in the cut gives not 

 only a full circle but by means of a cut-off the spray can be 

 regulated so as to cover any 

 desired fraction of a circle. 

 When the brass slide is ■ 

 pulled back the usual full 

 circle spray results, and 

 when it is pushed forward 

 a reduced spray is obtained. 

 This is particularly de- 

 sirable when its use is re- 

 quired near a sidewalk, so 

 that the sprinkler may 



operate without wetting the sidewalk. This sprinkler is made in 

 iron with brass slide and thumb nut and nickel plated through- 

 out. [W. D. Allen Manufacturing Co., Chicago.]
