The first panel is capable of being folded along the hinge line into a flexed position.

Abstract: The invention provides a thin plate supporting container clamping device for fixing a thin plate supporting container when the thin plate supporting container in which semiconductor wafers are stored therein for transportation is placed on a loading port at a destination thereof for unloading and loading the semiconductor wafers automatically, including a hook member to be engaged with a retaining member of the thin plate supporting container; a drive unit for supporting the retracted thin plate supporting container in a state in which the hook member is supported so as to be capable of moving in the vertical direction and the hook member is engaged with the retaining member; and a control unit for adjusting a force to retract the hook member. The control unit adjusts the force to retract the hook member on the basis of detection values of a thickness sensor, a position sensor, and a retracting force detection sensor.

Abstract: A single thin plate storage container 1 includes a main body 2 for storing one thin wafer A4 inside and a lid attached to the main body 2. The single thin plate storage container 1 includes a bottom side support member 35 that is located on the main body 2 side and supports the lid 3 from the bottom side, and a front side support member 36 that is located on the lid 3 side and supports the thin wafer 4A from the upper front side. The bottom side support member 35 includes a center support part 37, an outer periphery support part 38, a peripheral edge support part 39, and a ring plate 40 for combining integrally the center support part 37 and the outer support part 38. The front side support member 36 includes a disc 43 for covering the thin wafer 4A from the upper side and abutting parts 44, 45 to sandwich the thin wafer 4A between the two abutting parts and the bottom side support member 35.

Abstract: A drink holder that includes a base with a volume of water in it and a two-part cap that can be rotated to drop an amount of powdered drink mix, stored within the cap, into the water within the base. The cap includes a bottom section, a top section attached to the bottom section, and a cap that is placed on top of the top section. The bottom section has a flange that sticks out and meets the flange from the top section, forming a small compartment above the two flanges within the cap. The flanges are in this position when the top section of the cap is tightly connected to the bottom section of the cap. When the top section is threadably detached form the bottom section, the positioning of the two flanges creates a rather large hole within the cap, causing any drink powder or mix within an upper section of the cap to fall down through the bottom section of the cap and into the volume of liquid (preferably water).

Abstract: A system for a carrying an item comprises an inner sleeve assembly comprising first and second side panel assemblies and a perimeter panel assembly joined to define a sleeve chamber. The perimeter panel assembly comprises a first resilient member, a second resilient member, and a first elastic member. The first elastic member is arranged to apply a first bias force on the second resilient member to deform the second resilient member. The second resilient member applies a first sleeve chamber force on the first resilient member when the first elastic member deforms the second resilient member. When the item is inserted into the sleeve chamber, the first sleeve chamber force causes the first resilient member to engage the item, thereby holding the item in place within the sleeve chamber.
