THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



[December 1, 1915. 



RUBBER GOGGLES FOR PROTECTION AGAINST GASES AND ACIDS. 



With the exception of the lenses, which are held in a special 

 groove of the eye cup, and can be readily removed, these gog- 

 gles are made entirely of rubber. Tliey are of one-piece con- 

 struction, can be easily cleaned, arc dust and rain proof, and 



light and 

 s a n i t ary. 

 They af- 

 ford com- 

 plete pro- 

 tectiun t o 

 the eyes, 

 and yet are 



sufficiently ventilated to be worn with comfort. Chemists, or 

 other persons working amid gases, acids, fine dust, etc., will 

 find them particularly valuable. An elastic head band, adjust- 

 able to any size, holds the goggle firmly and comfortably against 

 the face. [T. A. Willson & Co., Inc., Reading, Pennsylvania.] 



THE "MONKEY GRIP" RUBBER SOLE. 



A feature which renders the rubber sole here illustrated of 

 especial value in athletic sports, and upon slippery pavements, is 

 the oval-shaped raised design covering the ball of the foot, and 

 provided with flat- 

 ended studs which lend 

 t h e clinging quality 

 suggested by the name, 

 "Monkey Grip." This 

 sole is a particularly 

 satisfactory substitute 

 for tlie spiked shoe often worn on the golf links, which ruin- 

 ously tears up the turf on the putting greens. It is made of 

 very tough-fibered rubber, and the manufacturers claim it gives 

 exceptional service. When worn in combination with the 

 "Monkey Grip" heel, which has U-shaped ribs and flat-ended 

 studs forming a non-slipping bottom, the wearer is well equipped 

 for the most unfriendly elements or strenuous sports. [C. J. 

 Bailey & Co., Boston, Massachusetts.] 



A RUBBER AND UETAL PACKING. 



It has always been a diflicult matter to obtain a metallic 

 packing which can be installed without making changes in 

 rods or boxes. This problem has been solved by "Noheet" 

 metallic packing, a patented article 

 made by the Lubricating Metal Co., 

 2 Rector street. New York. 



"Noheet" metallic packing is made 

 ot alternating rings of "Nohct" 

 Ijearing metal and rubber, and is so 

 constructed that in use the metal, 

 not the rubber, is forced into contact 

 with the rod. The metallic rings 

 are maih t^ lit i1k xarious sizes of rods, thus doing away with 

 extra work of nistallation 



It is especially adapted to ammonia pumps, steam piston 

 rods and valve stems, oil pumps, chilling machines, air com- 

 pressors and packing service of every description. 



A new porcelain mogul-base socket, equipped with 3'8-inch or 

 ^-inch aluminum caps, as desired, has a rubber gasket which 

 makes the joints between the upper and lower portions abso- 

 lutely tight and therefore weatherproof. [Harvey Ilubbell, Inc., 

 Bridgeport, Connecticut.] 



A new :hoe designed for the outdoor worker, and labeled the 

 "Workshu", has rubber soles, and canvas uppers of '"the same 

 fabric as that used in automobile tires. A very comfortable shoe 

 is thus furnished at a moderate price, [.\mherst Boot & Shoe 

 Co., Limited, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.] 



HARD RUBBER HANDLES. 



Umbrella and parasol handles in sim- 

 ple and ornate designs are being manu- 

 factured by the Hanover Vulcanite Co., 

 the well-known German makers of hard 

 rubber specialties, soft rubber toys and 

 novelties. The illustration shows one of 

 the more ornamental handles, which has 

 a panelled recess on either side, one con- 

 taining a neat bevel plate glass mirror 

 and the opposite a small comb. Other 

 patterns include mirror only. A large 

 variety of the usual straight or bent 

 forms are shown, all more or less orna- 

 mented. [Geo. Borgfeldt & Co., New 

 York.] 



THE "EBONITE" BOWLING BALL. 



Bowling balls made of bard rub- 

 ber throughout are, of course, not an 

 entirely new thing, but this particular 

 ball is a recent product, specially 

 constructed, the company claim, to 

 give life-long service, without crack- 

 ing or splitting, and to roll accurately. It is made in four 

 sizes: Small size, Ayi, m and S inches in diameter, the large 

 size, 27 inches, weighing 14, 15 and 16 pounds. The trade 

 mark encircling the holes of the ball is in the form of a red 

 dumb bell. [Stowe & Woodward Co., Newton Upper Falls, 

 Massachusetts.] 



COMBINATION SHAVING AND MASSAGE BRUSH. 



The rubber massage brush attached to 

 this shaving brush provides a handy con- 

 trivance for softening the beard when shav- 

 ing. It is intended to be used after apply- 

 ing the lather. Also, if used after shaving, 

 it stimulates the circulation and tones up 

 I he skin. The bristles of the shaving brush 

 are also .set in rubber, measure 2% inches 

 in length, and are made of fine white or 

 mixed badger hair. [Montgomery Ward 

 & Co., New York.] 



GUN BRACKET WITH RUBBER HOLDERS. 



.\ new gun bracket, called the "Universal," for use in hunting 

 duck from a boat, is provided with U-shaped rubber holders 

 which protect the fine finish of the gun as it rests between them. 

 The bracket is attached to the boat in a position which allows 

 the gun when not in service to swing freely, with muzzle point- 

 ing upward and in the direction the boat is going. It is thus 

 ready for immediate use, and there is no danger of shooting a 

 hole ii the bottom of the lioat. [New Process Specialty Co., 

 Milwaukee. Wisconsin. | 



INFANTS' ALL RUBBER TRUSS. 



This is a bandage used for cases of umbilical or navel hernia 

 in infants and youths. If put on a baby soon after birth it 

 avoids all danger of navel rupture. The sponge rubber pad ir. 

 velvety in te.xture, and will not slip. It is provided with a 

 button in the center and a small strip of rubber at one end. 

 The narrow rubber belt has several holes, allowing for adjust- 

 ment as to size, the proper hole being stretched over the center 

 button and the end of the belt being passed through the rubber 

 strip in the manner of a buckle. To clean this truss it is only 

 necessary to dip it in hot water and press it in a towel or cloth
