ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD FOR MANUALLY MOVING A CONTAINER FOR STORING OBJECTS

摘要

It is described an arrangement (20) for manually moving a container (16) for storing objects, particularly for storing disklike objects such as wafers, flat panels or CDs, through an environment, particularly through a fabrication with clean room class one or less. In order to allow an operator (18) to move a container (16) great distances without any problems, the arrangement (20) comprises a system (21) of overhead tracks (22) which are attached to the ceiling of the environment and a device (25) for supporting and moving said container (16), said device (25) comprising a conveying means (26) which is movable along said tracks (22) and a holding means (28) for holding said container (16). Said holding means (28) is attached to said conveying means (26) via a suspension means (29), for example a rope, cord or line. The container (16) is moved by manually pushing or pulling a handle (30), which is connected to suspension means (29).
