  • Patent number: 7648041
    Abstract: A uniquely shaped gasket (6) suitable for a container for storage of substrate plates requiring precision packaging. When such plates are stored into a container body (2), and a container lid (3) is closed and then a lid lock is applied, a gasket's outward ledge (6b, 6c, 6d) is pressed downward by an outward adjacent surface (3f) and deformed; consequently, the end of the ledge's tip (6d) will extend to fall in a seal channel (2d), in other words, to abut on a sectionally downward concave (2d), wherein the gasket (6) still keeps its elastic resiliency. As a result, if an air pressure difference occurs, the tip end (6d) will shift its abutting point. While the tip end (6d) moves, a minimum gap between the tip end (6d) and the channel surface (2d) occurs, and this gap will act as ventilation route to equalize the air pressure difference.

  • Publication number: 20060019411
    Abstract: A storage container for receiving precision substrates such as wafers, having increased strength and improved drying ability when washed. The storage container has a letter L-shaped circumferential wall (12) projectingly provided on an outer wall face, the circumferential wall functioning as a gasket insertion groove (12a). A first flange (13) horizontally extending from the lower end face of the letter L-shaped circumferential wall (12) and a second flange (14) horizontally extending from a position 10-30 mm lower than the first flange are respectively formed integrally with the container. Vertical ribs (15) are formed between the lower face of the first flange (13) and the upper face of the second flange (14).
