ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, a carrier (1) is provided which comprises a generally bucket-shaped container (2) which has an open top (4) for collection of items, and which may have a handle (8) if desired. The container is provided with a bottom portion (5) having an opening (15) therein for receiving a light source such as a flashlight (10). The flashlight is suitably held in position, as by a press fit against the edge of the opening, and extends between the interior and exterior of the container. Depending upon the direction the flashlight is pointed, the light will either point downwardly to light the way of the user in the dark, or alternately may cause the container itself to light up when a translucent container material is used. In another embodiment, a pair of generally similar containers (17, 18) of the type described above are joined at their bottom portions so that one container opens upwardly and one downwardly. Openings in the bottoms of the containers are positioned in registry to provide a single opening which receives a light source such as a flashlight, as by a press fit. When the flashlight points downwardly, it causes the lower container (18 ) to glow when a translucent container material is used; and furthermore shines a light through the open end of the lower container which impinges on the ground.
