The operation position (see FIG. 5) in contact with 721 is attached to be switchable. The restriction portion 8 on the right direction D32 side restricts elastic deformation of the elastic deformation portion 721 at the operating position.

The substrate storage container 1 configured as described above operates as follows and can provide the following effects.
When the restricting portion 8 is in the inoperative position shown in FIG. 4, it has no effect on the front retainer 7. For this reason, the front retainer 7 operates in exactly the same way as when the restricting portion 8 does not exist. That is, the front retainer 7 elastically holds the substrate W in accordance with an elastic coefficient within a predetermined range that the elastic deformation portion 721 of the retainer leg portion 72 originally has.
Specifically, when the retainer substrate receiving portion 73 of the front retainer 7 is in a free position where the substrate W is not held, the retainer substrate receiving portion 73 is positioned slightly in the rear direction D12 (upward in FIG. 4) from the position shown in FIG.

Move a little. This moved position is the position shown in FIG. Thereby, the retainer substrate receiving part 73 can elastically hold the substrate W with a relatively weak force.

When the restricting portion 8 is in the operating position shown in FIG. 5, the retainer leg portion 72 of the front retainer 7 contacts the end side of the elastically deforming portion 721 of the retainer leg portion 72. In the operating position, the restricting portion 8 abuts on the end portion side of the elastic deforming portion 721 of the retainer leg portion 72 to restrict the deformation of the elastic deforming portion 721 of the retainer leg portion 72. That is, the restricting portion 8 restricts the elastic deformation portion 721 of the retainer leg portion 72 from increasing the deformation amount.
Therefore, it is practically difficult for the elastic deformation portion 721 of the retainer leg 72 to further increase the deformation from the position shown in FIG.
Thereby, the retainer substrate receiving part 73 can elastically hold the substrate W with a relatively strong force.
