In this fitting recess 38, a packing 40 is incorporated.

On the back surface of the top plate 32 of the lid 3, glass substrate contact pads 58 formed of a rectangular parallelepiped having a predetermined thickness made of, for example, a polyethylene-based foam that is softer than the bottom pad 44 are provided at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction (for example, It is attached to three places) and sticks.

The glass substrate contact pad 58 is formed thicker than the heights of the side frames 34a, 34b, 36a, and 36b of the outer periphery of the lid 3, and the planes protruding from the side frames 34a, 34b, 36a, and 36b are accommodated in the box body 2. It consists of the pressurization surface 58a which presses a top edge.

As shown in Fig. 1 (b), a pair of coupling members 50 are attached to both sides of the short upper frame 24 side, which is the opening end of the box body 2, and the pair of coupling ports 50 are located adjacent to both outside of the coupling 50 and both sides of the short side frame 22 side.

The wave length 56 is attached to the center of both short frames 34a and 34b.

On the bottom plate 4 in the box body 2 configured as described above, as shown in Fig. 3, the bottom pad 44 for supporting a glass substrate of a rectangular parallelepiped having a predetermined thickness made of, for example, a polypropylene foam as a hard material is provided at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction. (Four places in an Example) are added and stuck together. On the upper surface of the bottom pad 44, ribs 42 are formed so that parallel grooves are formed, for example, with a pitch of 14 mm in the cross-sectional shape.

Moreover, the side pads 48 separated up and down are adhered to the inner surfaces of the side plates 8a and 8b facing the short side of the box body 2, and the side pads 48 are formed on the base member 48a and the upper surface of the base member 48a. For example, it is made of a guide rib member 48b in the form of a cross section constituting parallel and vertical grooves having a pitch of 14 mm.

At the time of adhering the side pads 48 separated up and down, the parallel grooves constituted by the longitudinal grooves formed in the guide rib member 48b on the base member 48a and the ribs 42 of the bottom pad 44 are set to match precisely.

In detail, as shown to Fig.5 (a), (b), the lower surface of the base member 48a consists of a thin resin plate which consists of a material with good peelability with respect to the aluminum side plates 8a, 8b, or a thin plate made of aluminum, etc. The pressure-sensitive adhesive plate 60 is adhered to each other, and the base member 48a is adhered to the opposing surfaces of the side plates 8a and 8b made of aluminum by applying an adhesive or an adhesive to the pressure-sensitive adhesive plate 60.

In particular, the side pads 48 adhered to the upper part are damaged due to adhesion to the edges when the glass substrate G is inserted or removed, and the replacement of the side pads 48 is made possible because the function as a guide decreases and cannot withstand long-term use. Since there is a possibility of replacement even in the adhesive side pad 48, it is preferable to apply the adhesives interchangeably.

Therefore, when peeling off the base member 48a, peeling off from the pressure-sensitive adhesive plate 60 made of a thin resin plate or a thin aluminum plate is easier to peel than the direct bond of the base member 48a, thereby leaving a flat and clean adhesive surface.

In addition, a pair of positioning holes 64 are formed on the right and left sides of the base member 48a, and a pair of positioning pins 62a and 62b protrude from the side plates 8a and 8b facing each other at positions corresponding to the positioning holes 64 of the left and right sides of the base member 48a. have.

As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the bottoms of the plurality of organic substrates G are supported at the bottom of the grooves of the parallel grooves composed of the ribs 42 of the bottom pads 44, but both ends of the glass substrates G It is supported so that a little space S may be formed without contacting a groove bottom.

These longitudinal grooves formed by the induction rib member 48b support the glass substrate G in parallel, and serve as guides for accommodating or carrying the organic substrate G in parallel grooves formed between the ribs 42 of the bottom pad 44.

The guide rib member 48b has a tapered surface with a narrow end from the front to the groove bottom so that the cross-sectional shape is approximately H letter shape, and furthermore, the height of the guide rib member 48b side near the opening of the box body 2 is opened. A mountain-shaped tapered surface is formed to gradually decrease toward.

Therefore, as described above, according to the side pad 48 of the glass substrate transport box, as shown in Fig. 5, when the transport box 1 is used for a long time and one of the base members 48a which separates the side pad 48 up and down is damaged, Replace the base member 48a. As in the prior art, the trouble of replacing the entire base member can be reduced, and further, the material can be saved.

In addition, by using the pressure-sensitive adhesive plate 60, no broken fragments of the foam material remain on the bonding surfaces of the opposite side plates 8a and 8b after peeling, and the flat side of the side plates 8a and 8b can be replaced again. It can be used as a contact surface of the base member 48a.

Further, when the new base member 48a is affixed to the contact surfaces of the side plates 8a and 8b facing each other, the upper base member 48a is oriented to the pair of positioning pins 62a and 62b protruding from the left and right sides of the side plates 8a and 8b, for example. By fitting the positioning holes 64, anyone can align the vertical groove 46a of the base member 48a with the vertical groove formed in the lower base member 48a.

In addition, although the example using the positioning pins 62a and 62b and the positioning hole 64 as a means for positioning the side pad 48 was demonstrated, you may provide the edge part which restricts a lateral direction, for example to the adhesive surface of the side plates 8a and 8b. It is not limited to the Example.

When the glass substrate G is inserted, it is guided by the tapered surface toward the bottom of the groove from the front side of the guide rib member 48b having a substantially H-shaped cross-sectional shape and a mountain-shaped opening end, so that the organic substrate at the time of insertion is There is room for accurate positioning of the substrate G. Further, since the thickness of the base member 48a gradually decreases toward the open end, the base member 48a is centered against the shift in the width direction of the glass substrate G when the vicinity of the open end is inserted.

Next, when both sides of the glass substrate G are inserted into the longitudinal grooves of the side pads 48 and their lower ends are supported by the groove bottoms of the corresponding parallel grooves of the bottom pad 44, the opening of the box body 2 is closed by the lid 3. 4B, the upper and lower ends of the plurality of glass substrates G contained in the transport box 1 are simultaneously pressed between the pressing surface 58a of the glass substrate contact pad 58 on the back side of the lid 3 and the bottom pad 44. .

In this way, the load in the longitudinal axis direction is applied toward the upper and lower ends of the organic substrate G, and as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the side pads 48 are vertically orthogonal to the surface of the glass substrate G. Forced warpage is formed to bend in either direction.

In the case where the transport box 1 is inverted by 90 degrees in this state and the glass substrate G is supported in the horizontal direction, even when a load (self-weight) directed downward in the vertical direction perpendicular to the surface of the glass substrate G is applied, Since the forced bending is maintained, the glass substrate G cannot be bent downward due to its own weight, so that contact with the adjacent glass substrate G can be avoided.

And since the box main body 2 and the cover body 3 have the structure which sandwiched foamed plastic resin (for example, foamed polyethylene resin) by the aluminum composite board from both sides, the conveyance box 1 can be comprised at a light weight, and it acts externally. Can alleviate the impact.

Furthermore, since the box body 2 is framed and reinforced in the bottom frames 10 and 12 made of aluminum, the frame pillars 20 to the top frames 22 and 24, a rigid box can be provided, and the box can be provided for contact with other items or for long-term storage. There is no transformation.

As mentioned above, although the Example of this invention was described with reference to drawings, a specific structure is not limited to these Examples, A point or a line display part may be sufficient as a means to position a side pad. In addition, although the side pads were demonstrated as two top and bottom, it is good also if it consists of three sheets. Further, the upper and lower molds and the pillars constituting the mold are not limited to aluminum, but may be light and hard materials such as stainless steel, for example.

According to the present invention has the following effects.

According to the invention of claim 1, a plurality of side pads are provided on a pair of inner side surfaces of the box main body, which are separated at least up and down to support the side ends of the glass substrate, and are freely exchanged. Even if the damaged side pads are replaced, the replacement time of the side pads can be reduced, and the material can be saved.
