  • Patent number: 9064917
    Abstract: A container for storing semiconductor devices is revealed. The container includes a receiving body, a seal plate, and a cover. At least one fastener and at least one driver are mounted in the receiving body. The seal plate is fastened under the receiving body and against the driver so as to fix the driver on the receiving body. When the driver is rotated, the fastener is driven to move in the receiving body by the driver. At least one fixing part of the fastener is moved toward at least one fastening part of the cover. By the fixing part locked in the fastening part, the cover is fixed on the receiving body. Thus a force opposite to the rotating shaft will not be generated around a periphery of the driver. Therefore stability of the rotating driver is improved and the container is opened and closed smoothly.
