Definitions

  • This invention relates to the cassette for holding computer magnetic disks, disk substrates, semiconductor wafers, liquid crystal display substrates, and so on, during transporting, processing or stocking. Specifically, it relates to the design of a cassette body that can be opened up by folding or dismantling.
  • the conventional cassette such as that manufactured by Empak Corporation, Fluoroware Incorporated and so on, consists of three parts, a body, a top lid and a bottom lid.
  • the body is hollow and the inside surfaces of the long sides have vertical grooves.
  • the corresponding grooves on opposite sides form open pockets to keep the disks vertical and regularly separated from each other. As the inside surfaces are not flat but corrugated, it is very difficult to ensure cleanliness after washing.
  • cassettes are also transported between the substrate and media manufacturers or between plants.
  • the empty cassettes are hollow and take up space and, hence, increase the transporting and stocking costs.
  • a cassette for holding disks and thin substrates consists of a body, a top lid and a bottom lid, the body of which is characterised in that it can be opened up by folding or dismantling and this ensures both cleanliness after wet washing and minimises the cassette volume and costs in transporting or stocking.
  • the four sides of the cassette body are joined to the bottom piece by plastic hinges, and the catches at the end pieces keep the sides in position.
  • the four sides of the cassette body are similarly joined to the bottom piece but the catches at the side pieces keep the sides in position.
  • the cassette body can be dismantled by sliding out the interlocking protrusions from the corresponding cavities.
  • FIG. 1 is the outside view of a formed-up cassette body, a top lid and a bottom lid.
  • FIG. 2 is the opened up view of one embodiment of the cassette body by folding, where the locking catches are at the end pieces while the corresponding receptacles are at the long sides.
  • FIG. 3 is the opened up view of another embodiment of the cassette body by folding, where the locking catches are at the long sides while the corresponding receptacles are at the end pieces.
  • FIG. 4 is the pulled out view of another embodiment of the cassette body, which is opened up by dismantling.
  • FIG. 1 shows the body 1 , top lid 2 and bottom lid 3 of a storage cassette.
  • FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the cassette body 1 consisting of five parts, one bottom 1A, two sides I B and two end pieces I C.
  • the sides IB and end pieces IC are hinged to the bottom piece 1 A by means of hinges 4.
  • the hinge 4 may be a removable plastic insert type. When folded up as a cassette, the sides IB and end pieces IC are held in place with each other by catches 5.
  • the catch 5 may be an integral molding with the end piece IC or it may be a removable plastic insert type pressed into the receptacle on the end piece IC; the corresponding receptacles 6 for the catches are located at the end of the side pieces IB.
  • the top lid 2 is secured over the cassette body by means of compression catches 7, while the bottom lid 3 is held in place by tight fit with the corners 8 of the cassette body.
  • FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the cassette body similar to that in FIG. 2, but the catches 5 are located at the side pieces IB, while the corresponding receptacles 6 for the catches are located at the end pieces IC.
  • FIG 4 shows another embodiment of the cassette body.
  • Each of the end piece ID has two parallel protrusions 9, which can be round or dovetail, for example, and which are slided into the corresponding cavities 10 of similar shape located at the ends of the side pieces IE.
  • the end pieces ID must be slided upwards from the bottom side of IE; once the top lid 2 is secured over the cassette body, the top lid will further keep the parts of the cassette body together and giving it strength and rigidity.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un boîtier de rangement servant à ranger des disques ou des supports minces pendant leur transport, traitement ou stockage. Le boîtier peut être ouvert ou démonté pour nettoyage humide ou pour limiter au minimum l'espace nécessaire pour le transport ou le rangement du boîtier. Suivant une forme d'exécution, le boîtier comprend une pièce de fond (1A), deux pièces latérales (1B), deux pièces terminales (1C), un couvercle supérieur et un couvercle inférieur (non illustrés). Les pièces latérales (1B) et les pièces terminales (1C) sont fixées par articulation sur la pièce de fond (1A) au moyen de charnières (4). Lesdites charnières (4) peuvent être du type pièce rapportée en plastique amovible. En position repliée pour former un boîtier, les pièces latérales (1B) et les pièces terminales (1C) sont maintenues en place et fixées les unes aux autres par des ergots (5). Lesdits ergots (5) peuvent être moulés dans la masse des pièces terminales (1C) ou du type pièce rapportée en plastique amovible pour loger par pression dans les réceptacles ménagés dans les pièces terminales (1C). Les réceptacles correspondants (6) destinés à accueillir les ergots sont situés à l'extrémité des pièces latérales (1B). Le couvercle supérieur (non illustré) est fixé au-dessus du corps du boîtier au moyen d'ergots de compression (non illustrés), tandis que le couvercle inférieur (non illustré) est maintenu en place par ajustement serré aux angles du corps du boîtier.
