Abstract: A substrate storage container includes a locking mechanism, provided in a lid for opening and closing an opened front portion of a container body which stores a substrate of three sheets or less, for locking the lid fitted into the front portion of the container body. The locking mechanism is supported by the lid which is substantially laterally long when viewed from the front. The locking mechanism includes an advance/retreat engaging body that opposes an inner periphery of the front portion of the container body when the lid is fitted into the front portion of the container body, and a spring member that causes the advance/retreat engaging body to advance from the lid to the inner periphery of the front portion of the container body and thus causes a tip end portion side thereof to interfere when the lid is fitted into the front portion of the container body.

Abstract: A wafer storage container including a container body having an opening adapted to store wafers is disclosed. The container body includes a window and wafer support parts. Delivery components are attached to the exterior face part of the container body. The delivery components includes a bottom plate disposed at a bottom of the container body, a pair of side handles disposed at both sides of the container body, and a robotic flange disposed at a top of the container body. The container further is provided with a lid adapted to seal the opening of the container body. The lid includes a lid main body, a pair of latch mechanism disposed within the lid main body, a retainer member disposed at an inner surface of the lid main body, a seal gasket member disposed at a periphery of the lid main body such that it contacts a periphery of an opening part of the container body and a lid cover.

Abstract: A die is formed of a cavity mold having a hollow portion and a slidable core mold that allows a core to be inserted into hollow portion of cavity mold. An insert part that has been previously molded is fitted to and supported by the front end of core of core mold. Then, insert part is inserted into die and clamped therein, then a molten molding material is injected into die so as to perform injection molding of a container body of a substrate storage container with its rear part formed with insert part. Since insert part is put into contact with hollow portion of cavity core so as to restrain vibration of tapering flat core, core of core mold will not be flapped or flexed even if difference in injection pressure occurs in the molding material.

Abstract: A substrate storing container has a container body for accommodating substrates; and a door that is detachably fitted to an opening of the container body with a gasket interposed therebetween. The container body and door are separately formed of molding material containing synthetic resin having a water absorption of 0.1% or lower and outgassing in a total amount of 15 ppm or lower when measured after a 24 hour heating at 80 deg. C. by the dynamic headspace technique. The synthetic resin in the molding material is at least one kind selected from cycloolefin polymer, liquid crystal polymer, polyetheretherketone, polybutylene terephthalate, polyethylene terephthalate, and an alloy resin of cycloolefin polymer, liquid crystal polymer, polyetheretherketone, polybutylene terephthalate, or polyethylene terephthalate.
