STORAGE APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING CANISTER HOUSING ENCLOSURE

摘要

The loading density of canisters fitted to a supporting substrate of a storage enclosure is reduced. A plurality of rail structure bodies are provided in parallel with the Y-axis direction so as to be spaced apart by a first predetermined distance in the X-axis direction. A pair of the rail structure bodies arranged on left and right sides in the Y-axis direction support the canisters. The rail structure body includes first contact parts extended in parallel with the Y-axis direction, second contact parts formed continuously with the first contact parts so as to protrude by a second predetermined distance to one side in the X-axis direction, and coupling parts formed continuously with the first contact parts and the second contact parts. The canister is supported between one side surface of the second contact part of one rail structure body and the other side surface of the contact part.

主权项

1. A storage apparatus comprising:
an enclosure having an opening part on an end at one side in a first direction; a supporting substrate which is provided in the enclosure and to which at least one canister for housing storage media is insertably and removably fitted; and supporting structures spaced apart by a first predetermined distance in a second direction orthogonal with the first direction on a same plane, integrally formed on the supporting substrate in parallel with the first direction, and configured to support the canister that is inserted and removed via the opening part, wherein each of the supporting structures includes: a first contact part extended in parallel with the first direction; a second contact part continuously and integrally formed with the first contact part so as to be protruded by a second predetermined distance toward one side in the second direction; and a coupling part positioned at both ends of the second contact part in the first direction, continuously and integrally formed with the first contact part and the second contact part, and configured to couple the first contact part to the second contact part, and the canister is configured to be supported between one side surface of the second contact part of one supporting structure and the other side surface of the first contact part of the other supporting structure adjacent to the one supporting structure.
