Title:
COVER-CARRYING THIN SHEET STORAGE CONTAINER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1998/056676
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A cover-carrying thin sheet storage container (1) provided with a container body (2) in which a plurality of silicon wafers are held and supported, and a cover (3) removably fitted to the container body (2) and sealing the interior thereof. A magnetic force control member (11) for controlling a magnetic force between the container body (2) and cover (3) is also provided. The magnetic force control member (11) is provided with magnets (8, 22) respectively disposed in mutually opposed positions of the container body (2) and cover (3) and driving means (23) for moving the magnets (22). When the magnets (22) are aligned with the magnets (8) by the driving means (23), the magnets are attracted to each other to fix the cover (3) to the container body (2). When the magnets (22) are put out of alignment with the magnets (8), the cover (3) is released from the container body-fixing force, and becomes easily removable. The cover (3) is provided with a seal member (14) having a tongue (14A). This tongue (14A) seals the interior of the container body reliably without causing the inner air pressure to increase. The magnets mentioned above may be replaced by coils (52) and magnetic members.
