Abstract: A waterproof pill container especially adapted to hold pills and the like is disclosed. In addition to a container base having an open top adapted to be closed by a cover, closure means are provided for continually urging the cover into watertight sealing engagement with the peripheral edge that forms the open top of the container base. Such closure means includes a post attached to and downwardly dependent from the inner portions of the cover and to which a laterally extending crossbar is rotatably engaged. Also the container base is provided with a pair of inwardly extending flanges under which the ends of the crossbar are adapted to engage, thereby establishing anchor points against which the cover may be tightly drawn into sealing engagement with the container base to assure a watertight fit between the two members.
