ABSTRACT:
A two-piece moisture proof safety container for pills and the like has a rectangular drawer and a cover made of a resilient material. The cover and drawer are in the form of mated boxes in which the drawer is slidably engaged within the cover by meshing flanges on the facing surfaces of inside surfaces of sides of the cover and corresponding outside surfaces of the sides of the drawer. This configuration facilitates the automated filling and assembly of the container. The meshing flanges on the drawer and the cover act as cams and cam followers to resiliently urge the drawer, as it is closed, up into tight contact with the underside of the top of the cover by the proper interference fit, effecting a moisture-proof seal. A small catch is attached to the outside of the rear wall of the drawer. This catch engages a portion of the rear wall of the cover, locking the container closed. The rear wall of the cover is provided with a relief slit to allow the cover to be distorted when its sides are squeezed in the appropriate location, so as to release the catch of the drawer from the rear wall of the cover.
