<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a substrate storage container which prevents an inner side of a container main body from being contaminated and simplifies inspection, repairing and cleaning operations for an engagement means. <P>SOLUTION: An engagement means 6 for engaging a lid member 4 with a container main body 2 is exposed at an outer surface of the container main body 2. With this arrangement, since it is not necessary to store the engaging means 6 within the lid member 4, contaminated substances are not accumulated in the lid member 4 and there occurs no possibility that the contaminated substances enter the container main body 2. This prevents the inside portion of the container main body 2 from being contaminated. Since the engaging means 6 is exposed at the outer surface, inspection, repairing and cleaning operations of the engaging means 6 are facilitated. Since it is not necessary to store the engaging means 6 at the lid member 4, it is not necessary to arrange a space for storing the engaging means 6, and then the lid member 4 is reduced in size. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
