ABSTRACT:
A waterproof container is provided including a housing formed of an elastomeric material defining an interior space with an open top having a planar top peripheral edge. An interior lining of the housing is constructed from a foam material. The lining is situated within the interior space of the housing for protecting the contents thereof. Further provided is a cover having a planar rectangular configuration with a top face, a bottom face, and a periphery formed therebetween. The bottom face of the cover has a cut out with a rectangular cross-section formed adjacent the entire periphery. The cut out has a width equal to a thickness of the faces of the housing. The cover further has a planar bottom lining constructed from a foam material situated on the bottom face of the cover. Next provided is a gasket having a planar rectangular configuration and a width equal to the thickness of the faces of the housing. A coupling mechanism is included for selectively securing the cover to the housing. During use, the cover is situated over the open top of the housing with the top peripheral edge of the housing situated within the cut out of the cover with the gasket positioned therebetween. The coupling mechanism functions to maintain the cover fixed to the housing to preclude water from entering the interior space of the housing.
