Abstract: A container with a waterproof bottom is disclosed wherein the bottom is made of a rubberized or rubber-like material and is attached or connected to a separate fabric or plastic panel forming the upper part of the container. In the method, a rubberized or rubber-like material product is attached separately with an adhesive, such as a rubber cement, to a base panel of a container. Also, a rubber-like material is separately attached with an adhesive to all around the sides. The rubber-like product of the sides is specially molded for this purpose and has a channel at the top of each of the sides for stitching. Further adhesive is secured through a vulcanize heating process at temperature of about 70 degrees Centigrade for a period of about 6 minutes. After the heating process the now rubberized fabric bottom panel is stitched through the specific channel in the rubber sides to the upper part.

Abstract: An improved satchel with illuminated display comprising a sack having walls which define an interior space within the sack. The sack has a display-holder permanently fixedly attached to the outside of the sack. The display-holder has a display-receiving pocket as well as a passage between the display-receiving pocket and the interior space within the sack. This permits a display to be easily taken in and out of the display-holder. Since the display-holder is accessible solely from the interior space within the sack there is a great deal of security. The sack also has a display within the display-holder and a number of electric light sources which can be flashed or turned on to illuminate the display. The satchel carries its own source of electrical current.
