Abstract
A pill box has a sliding cover for a bottom part having a rim on which an elastically compressible gasket is positioned, providing moisture-proofness. By a programmed squeezing together and sliding action the cover may be slid from the bottom part to gain access to the box's interior, the programmed actions making the box child-resistant. The gasket functions both as a seal and as a spring which keeps the cover and bottom part biased apart.
