摘要： A wafer container having a container portion with an open front for receiving and removal of wafers includes a door with a cushion system that utilizes a unique wafer restraint system and structural features to provide maximum protection for the wafers and preventing rotation of said wafers. A feature of the door is that the front of the door covers have a pair of latch cavities on the outwardly facing side of the door. The latch cavities for receiving two latch mechanisms with latch members that extend out the upper and lower peripheral edge of the door. The latch mechanisms are covered by a pair of door panels that utilize hooks that attach to the peripheral edge of the door and further attach with posts near the vertical midsection. The latch cover at the peripheral side edge and at the vertical midsection of the door provides stiffness and resistance to bending of the door. In a preferred embodiment, the attachment of the door panel at the peripheral edge utilizes hook members on the door panel that extend through slots on the peripheral side. Press fit connectors and aperture combinations are preferably utilized to connect the edge of the latch panel approximate the mid-portion of the door.

摘要： A front opening wafer carrier formed principally of plastic and comprising an enclosure portion (20) and a door (24) has a path to ground with respect to the wafers (22), the path to ground effectuated by the door (24). The base “ground” may be provided at the machine interface upon which the carrier sits, or through the robotic arm that grasps, operates and moves the door (24).

摘要： A wafer container has an open front defined by a frame for receiving a door. The frame has slots on opposite sides. The door utilizes two latching linkages that extend, lift, lower and retract two latching portions from the edge portion of each opposite side of the door and into and out of latch receptacles on the frame. Each latching mechanism utilizes a sliding plate with a handle connected thereto and exposed on the front of the door. The sliding plate has a pair of lifting linkages cooperating with a pair of latching linkages. Moving the handles outwardly extends the latching portions into the latching receptacles, then pulls the door inwardly to seal the door to the container portion. The sliding plate includes a rack portion engaged with a pinion accessible from the front of the door by a latch key whereby the mechanism can be operated robotically.
