This is reallj a hoi water bottle made in the form of a broad 

 belt. It has a removable cover, made of soft fabric, to which is 

 attached a webbing fastener. Ii can therefore be worn about 



any part of the bodj and retained as long as necessary. The 

 bandage is also arranged so that with tubing, etc i1 becomes a 

 combination water bottle and syringe. |J. I\. McCormick, The 

 Xenia Rubber Manufacturing i o., Xenia, Ohio.] 



THE '-PINNACLE" TANK BULB. 



Tank bulbs are today used by the hundred thousand, and 

 poorly constructed ones cause an everlasting lol of trouble. On 

 the other hand, a bulb properly made lasts a long time and acts 

 perfectly. The "Pinnacle" is one of the 

 excellent sort. The upper part of it is 

 made of hard rubber, and is absolutely 

 rigid; the lower part is of soft, slate 

 colored rubber, and is a perfect valve 

 seat A point in the shape of the bulb is 

 the concave slope, which allows it to 

 come rapidly to the surface when re- 

 leased, thus insuring a flush of the full 

 capacity of the tank. The top and bot- 

 tom of the bulb are welded together by 

 the perfect lock-grip coupling. [The

THE "BESTYETTE' RUBBER APRON. 



Rubber aprons in housework and in 

 factories are becoming more and more 

 a necessity: indeed a light weight, 

 white, rubber apron is much more sani- 

 tary, cleanly and practical than the 

 calico aprons of a generation ago. 

 Where they are used in factorj work 

 they are said to be much more econom- 

 ical than cloth aprons, because they are 

 easil} cleaned with soap and water and 

 need no laundering. The illustration

 yette," made of white rubber sheeting, 

 light and I gu iranteed not to 



crack or peel. [X. V. Mackintosh Co.,

HAY'S HAIR HEALTH APPLIER. 

 This device is a rubber cup containing a sponge It is for 

 the purpi se of applying liquid hair growers to the scalp. It is 

 made particularly for one special hair grower. 

 but can actually be used for any scalp applica- 

 tion It is reallj a very cleanly and simple 

 method for scalp massagi or for the application 

 anything excepting animal greases. [Phili

WAITERS ICE HELMET. 

 Ice caps, ice helmets and head coolers of a great variety are 

 manufactured by the druggists' sundry makers the world over. 

 Some are made of pure rubber, some 

 I. rubber, and in a variety of 

 They are, of course, for reduc- 

 ing temperature in cases of 

 fever or sunstroke. The cool- 

 ing medium is either ice 

 water or cracked ice. The 

 Watters helmet, shown in the 

 ', accompanying illustration, is a 

 special type, consisting of a 

 -^ double cap which fits snugly 

 over the head, and is tied 

 under the chin with tapes.

A NEW JAR RING. 



The ring in question is not the standard rlat ring but round — 

 made to fit a special jar, which has two grooves at its upper 

 end. In sealing the jar the ring is placed in the upper groove, 

 and when the vacuum is created by the shrinkage of the hot 

 contents the rubber ring rolls into the lower groove and the

i.n is thoroughly sejlcd \ point in favor of this type of jar 

 ring is that in prying the cover off the ring is in no way 

 injured — something that is likely to happen with the rlat ring.

RUBBER RATTLE AND TWO NEW RUBBER BALLS 

 Rattles are a source of great joy to the small child, and here 

 is one combining with its possibilities in this direction the prop 

 erties of a teething ring and a further 

 value in familiarizing the child with the 

 letters of tin alphabet. This rattle is made 

 of white 

 rubber, de-

 Mr. Eddy. 

 of the 

 Goodyear 

 Rubber Co., 



Milwaukee. Wisconsin, who is also re- 

 sponsible for the alphabet and pennant 

 rubber balls mentioned in the November 

 number of The India Rubber World. Two other new rubber 

 balls have been brought out by this company — the "Scouto" and 

 the "Campo" — designed by Mr. James Suydam. 



THE PACKING WITH THE LIP. 



Crandall's Hydraulic Packing, often referred to as the Lip 

 Packing, is fundamentally different from the ordinary packing, 

 as on the inside it is finished at one end with a thin rubber 

 lip which the pressure forces against the rod or plunger, thus 

 making the joint extremely tight. And it works automatically, 

 for the greater the pressure the tighter the packing becomes
