A child-proof container comprises a tubularly-shaped main housing formed of a resilient plastic having first and second end edges. A permanent bottom wall is integrally formed with the main housing adjacent the first end edge of the main housing but spaced slightly inwardly from the first end edge. A cover is hingedly attached at the opposite end of the main housing also spaced slightly inwardly from the second end edge of the main housing. An internal surface of the main housing includes a slot for receiving a free edge of the cover when the cover is in a closed position, the slot being also located slightly inwardly from the second end edge, and a "stop" located inwardly from the slot for engaging an inner surface of the cover to prevent further inward rotation of the cover. In one embodiment, the tubularly-shaped main housing has a circular cross section and in a second embodiment, it has a partially circular and partially flat shape.
