Tamper Proof Container

Abstract

A tamper resistant container configured to receive and store substances for which restricted access is desired. The tamper resistant container includes a body having four walls and a bottom integrally formed to create an interior volume. The body includes an upper end and a lower end wherein the body includes three protrusions formed on the outer surface of three of the four walls proximate the upper end of the body. A lid is hingedly secured to the body and configured to hermetically seal the interior volume of the body. A plurality of receiving grooves are formed on two opposing walls of the body. At least one divider is provided to slidably engage with the plurality of receiving grooves in order to divide the interior volume into two sections. The lid is moved to its open position by a simultaneous action on all of the three protrusions.

         9 . The container as recited in  claim 8 , wherein two of said three protrusions are located on said two opposing walls of said body and one of said three protrusions is located on a wall having a perpendicular orientation thereto. 
     
     
         10 . The container as recited in  claim 9 , and further including a plurality of receiving grooves, said plurality of receiving grooves formed on the inner surface of said at least two opposing walls. 
     
     
         11 . The container as recited in  claim 10 , at least one divider, at least one divider configured to be slidably inserted within said plurality of receiving grooves, said at least one divider extending across the interior volume of said body, said at least one divider operable to divide said interior volume into a first section and a second section. 
     
     
         12 . The container as recited in  claim 11 , wherein said two of said three protrusions are pressed against in a movement plane direction towards each other and the one of said three protrusions is biased against in a direction that is perpendicular to the movement plane direction of the two of said three protrusions so as to move the lid to an open position.
