  • Patent number: 11317530
    Abstract: A substrate case can be used in common with different types of substrates, and thus reduces production costs. A substrate case is tubular and has a bottom that includes an open portion into which a first substrate and a second substrate that has a different size can be selectively inserted. Guide portions are configured to guide movement of the first substrate and the second substrate in an insertion direction when the first substrate and the second substrate are selectively inserted through the open portion. A first restricting portion is configured to restrict movement of the first substrate when the first substrate has been guided by the guide portion and inserted to a regular position; and a second restricting portion that is configured to restrict movement of the second substrate when the second substrate has been guided by the guide portion and inserted to the regular position.
