Abstract: The invention relates to a container for receiving and transporting sensitive plate-like objects, in particular for transporting surface-modified glass substrates. The container comprises an upper part and a lower part. The lower part comprises two lateral sides, two longitudinal sides and a bottom which commonly circumscribe a hollow space for receiving plate-like objects. At each of the lateral sides a series of first ridges is arranged perpendicularly to the bottom, forming a plurality of guide grooves for the plate-like objects. The upper part comprises an inner surface which is parallel to the bottom when the container is closed. At the inner surface at least one second protruding ridge is arranged extending in parallel to both lateral sides along the total inner surface, thus limiting the mobility of the plate-like objects within the guide grooves.

Abstract: A receptacle for receiving plates having a sensitive surface is disclosed which is particularly suited for receiving glass plates having a sensitized surface. The receptacle comprises a container part (12) having four walls (16, 18) and a bottom (24), whereby a hollow space is circumscribed. The receptacle further comprises a removable top (14) for closing the container part (12). The container part (12) comprises guide grooves (28) located at two opposite walls (16, 18) for receiving plates (56). A flexible element (40) formed as a bent tongue is provided integrally with the bottom or cover for securing plates received within the receptacle (10) against movement in longitudinal direction.
