<p>The invention provides for apparatus for storing and carrying a plurality of wafers (27) comprising a portable housing (11) that has an exterior with a portal leading to an interior portion of the portable housing. The interior has first and second sides that are substantially parallel to each other. The portal is configured to receive a plurality of wafers (27) and the portal is aligned along a plane. The apparatus also includes grooves (25) located in the interior of the portable housing. The grooves (25) are configured to slidably receive the wafers (27) which are then held in a position that is perpendicular to the plane along which the portal lies. In normal use, the wafers (27) are held in a horizontal position when placed within the housing between the grooves. A door (29) is adapted to cover the portal with a seal being created when the door covers the portal. This seal prevents particles from entering the interior of the portable housing from the exterior. <IMAGE></p> |
