【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, a plurality of plate-like bodies S, such as wafers for manufacturing semiconductor electronic circuit devices, are housed in parallel inside a casing-shaped container body 1 integrally molded of synthetic resin. A plate storage container is shown. On the inner wall surface of the container body 1, there are provided a plurality of positioning recesses 3 into which the respective outer peripheral edge portions of the plate-like body S are fitted, with a plurality of grooves being cut in a direction perpendicular to the opening surface of the opening 2. It is formed so that a plurality of plate-like bodies S can be housed in parallel at regular intervals. Therefore, the plate-shaped member S is inserted and removed by sliding the plate-shaped member S along the recess 3 through the opening 2. A handle portion 4 for supporting the container is attached to the outer peripheral portion of the container. The handle portion 4 is configured by attaching a box-shaped member having an opening portion 4a on one surface different from the container supporting direction to the outer peripheral surface of the container, and inserting a finger into the opening portion 4a to support and transport the container. It is configured to be able to.

A part of the container wall 1 a in which the recess 3 is formed near the opening 2 serves as a blocking member 5 that receives and blocks the movement of the plate-shaped body S engaged in the recess 3 toward the opening 2. It is formed so as to be able to swing inward. More specifically, the blocking member 5 is integrally formed with the container body 1 as shown in FIG. 2, and is provided along the container wall 1a when no external force is applied. This state is the release state of the blocking member 5. Further, the connecting portion 6 between the blocking member 5 and the container body 1 is formed in a thin shape, and is configured to allow the blocking member 5 to swing inward of the container due to elastic deformation. Therefore, at the same time, the connecting portion 6 is also used as a biasing means 7 that biases the blocking member 5 to return to the posture in which the blocking member 5 is in the released state.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, a lever 8 as an operating member for operating the blocking member 5 in a blocking state is provided inside the opening 4 a of the handle 4. The lever 8 has a crank-shaped link portion 8a, and the tip portion 8b of the link portion 8a passes through the small hole 1b provided in the container wall 1a and engages with the blocking member 5. Therefore, when the container is supported, the blocking member 5 can be swung inward of the container by operating the lever 8 as the fingers are inserted into the opening 4a of the handle 4. This state is a blocking state in which the blocking member 5 receives and blocks the movement of the plate-shaped body S engaged in the recess 3 toward the opening 2.

[Other Embodiments] The size, shape, link mechanism, etc. of the lever 8 can be appropriately changed. The blocking member 5 may be a member that simply overhangs inside the container and receives and blocks the movement of the plate-shaped body S toward the opening 2. The movement of S may be restricted.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the operating member for operating the blocking member 5 in the blocking state is constituted by the lever 8 provided inside the opening portion 4a of the grip portion 4, but the grip portion 4 The device itself may be movably attached and may also be used as an operating member. FIG. 4 shows a handle member 9 which is swingably attached to the container body 1 by a pivot shaft 9a and which is also used as the operation member. A stopper 10 is mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the container near the pivot shaft 9a for restricting the swinging motion of the handle member 9 in the upright posture to the side opposite to the bending direction of the bending portion 9b at the tip. Therefore, the handle member 9 is pressed and fixed to the stopper 10 due to the weight of the container as the bent portion 9b is hung and supported by the fingers, and thus is configured to serve as a handle for supporting the container. ing. The handle member 9 and the blocking member 5 are linked by a thread-shaped link member 11. The filamentous link member 11 has one end fixed to the swing point 9c of the handle member 9, passes through a small hole 1c formed in the container body 1 and extends along the inner surface side of the container wall, and the other end thereof is a blocking member 5 When the blocking member 5 is locked at the swinging point 5a and the blocking member 5 is in the released state, the handle member 9 has an inclined posture 9 '. Therefore, when the container is supported, the blocking member 5 is moved from the released state to the blocking position as the handle member 9 is operated from the tilted posture 9 ′ to the standing posture by the fingers supporting the handle member 9. It is configured to be operated in a stopped state.
