Static shielded shipping container

摘要

An improved electrostatic shielded handling, shipping, and storage container is obtained by providing two separable container portions, each coated one-side only with a conductive layer. The lower container portion is coated only on its outer surface and the upper container portion is coated only on its inner surface. The two portions engage so that the upper portion slides over the lower portion bringing the two conductive layers into electrical contact so that objects placed within the container are completely surrounded by a conductive cage. The outer top and sides of the assembled container are free of any conductive coating so as to be available for decorative printing and/or identification marks. The conductive coating is exposed on the bottom surface of the assembled container, which insures that the conductive shield cage is grounded to any conductive object on which the container is placed.
