[0015] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] Figure 1 It is a front perspective view of the storage container 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, in a state where the plate-like stacked objects 1 are stored. Figure 2 It is a side view of the storage container 100 which concerns on embodiment of this invention. Figure 3 It is a front view of the storage container 100 which concerns on embodiment of this invention.

[0017] like Figure 1~Figure 3 As shown, the plate-shaped object storage container 100 has a storage portion S in which the plate-shaped object stack 1 is stored.

[0018] The plate-like body stack 1 is a stack formed by stacking a plurality of plate-like bodies. In this example, the plate-like body is a glass plate G formed into a rectangular shape when viewed from above, and the storage container 100 stores the plurality of glass plates G in a stacked state. The storage container 100 stores large-sized glass plates G such as the fifth generation size (long side 1,300 mm, short side 1,000 mm), the 5.5th generation size (long side 1,500 mm, short side 1,300 mm), and the sixth generation size (long side 1,850 mm, short side 1,500 mm). The thickness of the glass plate G is, for example, not less than 0.3 mm and not more than 0.7 mm. The storage container 100 in which a plurality of such large-sized glass plates G are stacked and stored is loaded on a cargo bed of a transport vehicle (e.g., a trailer or a truck) and transported.

[0019] The glass plate G is made of an alkali-free glass material used in a flat panel display (FPD: Flat Panel Display) such as LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode), for example.

[0020] Figure 4 It is a side view of the plate-shaped stacked product 1 in which the glass plates G are stacked and stored in the storage container 100 .

[0021] like Figure 4 As shown, the glass plates G are stacked one on top of the other with the paper 2 interposed therebetween. The paper 2 is formed into a rectangular shape having a larger area than the glass plates G. Thus, the paper 2 is interposed between the glass plates G so that its edge portion protrudes from the edge portion of the glass plates G.

[0022] like Figure 1~Figure 3 As shown, the storage container 100 is mainly composed of a base 110, a bottom plate 120 and a back plate 130. The bottom plate 120 and the back plate 130 are arranged on the top of the base 110. The bottom plate 120 supports the lower edge of the plate-like stacked object 1, and the back plate 130 supports the main surface of the plate-like stacked object 1.

[0023] The upper surface of the pedestal 110 is a flat loading surface 111. The pedestal 110 is formed by joining a plurality of long and short steel materials in the longitudinal, transverse and height directions. In addition, openings 112 for inserting and removing claws (not shown) of a forklift are formed on the front and rear surfaces of the pedestal 110.

[0024] Figure 5 It is a rear view of the storage container 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

[0025] like Figure 5As shown, the stand 110 includes a base portion 113 and a placement plate portion 114 disposed on the upper portion of the base portion 113. The base portion 113 includes a placement surface 113a (see FIG. 114 ) that contacts the ground when the storage container 100 is placed on the ground. Figure 5 The upper surface of the placing plate portion 114 is set as the placing surface 111. Both sides of the placing plate portion 114 extend laterally from the base portion 113. Thus, the placing surface 111 of the upper surface of the placing plate portion 114 has an area larger than the setting surface 113a of the base portion 113.

[0026] like Figure 1~Figure 3 As shown, the bottom plate 120 is fixed and supported on the upper part of the mounting surface 111 of the pedestal 110 by a beam 121. The bottom plate 120 is arranged to be inclined relative to the mounting surface 111 of the pedestal 110. The bottom plate 120 carries the lower edge of the plate-like body stack 1 on the upper surface side. A buffer member 123 is attached to the upper surface of the bottom plate 120.

[0027] The back plate 130 is supported on the upper part of the mounting surface 111 of the pedestal 110 by the frame member 131. The back plate 130 is erected and inclined relative to the mounting surface 111 of the pedestal 110. The main surface of the glass plate G of the plate-like body laminate 1 is overlapped on the front surface side of the back plate 130. A buffer member 133 is attached to the front surface of the back plate 130.

[0028] The frame member 131 has pillars 134 and reinforcements 135. These pillars 134 and reinforcements 135 are made of steel, and are provided in plurality (three each in this example), and are arranged at intervals in the width direction of the storage container 100. The pillars 134 are connected to the beam 121 fixed to the base 110 and are arranged upright at an angle. The reinforcement 135 is arranged behind the pillars 134, and the lower end is fixed and arranged upright on the base 110. The upper end of the reinforcement 135 is connected to the middle part of the longitudinal direction of the pillars 134. Thus, each pillar 134 arranged upright at an angle is reinforced by the reinforcement 135. In addition, a back panel 136 is provided on the back side of the frame member 131, and the back panel 136 is arranged upright on the loading surface 111 of the base 110, and the upper end of each pillar 134 of the frame member 131 is connected to the back panel 136.

[0029] In the storage container 100, the bottom plate 120 on which the lower edge of the plate-like body stack 1 is placed and the back plate 130 on which the main surface of the glass plate G of the plate-like body stack 1 is supported form an angle of 90° or approximately 90°. In addition, the lower edge of the plate-like body stack 1 is supported by the bottom plate 120, and the main surface of the glass plate G is supported by the back plate 130, so that the plate-like body stack 1 is stored in the storage container 100 in a tilted standing state. In this way, in the storage container 100, the storage section S is formed by the bottom plate 120 and the back plate 130, and the plate-like body stack 1 is stored in the storage section S.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, in the storage container 100, the plate-like stacked objects 1 are stored in a storage portion S in a tilted standing state, and the storage portion S is formed by a bottom plate 120 and a back plate 130. In this storage state, in the storage container 100, a white protective plate 140, for example, made of resin is overlapped on the front surface side of the stored plate-like stacked objects 1, and further, corner contact parts 141 made of resin are attached to each corner of the front side of the plate-like stacked objects 1.

[0031] The plate-like body stack 1 on which the protection plate 140 is superimposed and the corner contact member 141 is attached to the corner is held in the storage container 100 by a plurality of (two in this example) straps 145 hung on the front surface side. A binding strap can be used as the strap 145. One end of the strap 145 is fixed to a fastener such as an eye bolt or a buckle (not shown) provided on one side of the frame member 131, and the other end is pulled and fixed by a ratchet (not shown) provided on the other side of the frame member 131.

[0032] Then, the plate-like stack 1 and the protection plate 140 are fastened by the belt 145 by pulling and fixing the belt 145 with the ratchet. Therefore, the plate-like stack 1 is pressed against the back plate 130 via the protection plate 140 and is stored in the storage container 100 in a state where the movement is restricted. Thus, even during transportation, the positional deviation of the stored plate-like stack 1 can be suppressed.

[0033] Figure 6 It is a front perspective view of the storage container 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, in a state where the housing 150 is attached.

[0034] like Figure 6 As shown, the housing 150 can be installed in the storage container 100. The housing 150 is formed into a box shape, and the box shape has a front surface plate 151, an upper surface plate 152 and a side panel 153, and is assembled on the base 110 in a manner of covering the storage container 100 from the front and top. When the housing 150 is assembled to the storage container 100, the edge portions of the upper surface plate 152 and the rear side of the side panel 153 of the housing 150 are along the upper edge and the side edge of the back panel 136 without a gap. In addition, by assembling the housing 150 to the storage container 100, the outer periphery of the storage container 100 is covered by the housing 150 and the back panel 136, so that the plate-like body stack 1 stored is protected and the attachment of garbage and dust to the plate-like body stack 1 is suppressed.

[0035] As described above, according to the storage container 100 of the above embodiment, the stand 110 has the placement plate portion 114 on the base portion 113 having the placement surface 113a in contact with the ground, the placement plate portion 114 places the bottom plate 120 and the back plate 130, and the placement plate portion 114 extends laterally from the base portion 113. Therefore, even in a situation where the area of ​​the placement surface 113a is limited, the area of ​​the placement surface 113a can be suppressed, and the area of ​​the placement surface 111 on the upper surface of the placement plate portion 114 can be increased, so that glass plates G of a larger size can be stacked and stored.

[0036] In addition, the present invention can be applied as a storage container for electronic devices other than LCD, OLED, and FPD, such as glass substrates for optical elements, glass disks, solar cells, and other plate-like bodies. In addition, the plate-like body to be stored is not limited to glass plates, and can also be formed of metal, ceramics, or resin, for example.

[0037] Thus, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and combining the structures of the embodiments with each other, and changing and applying them by those skilled in the art based on the description in the specification and known technologies are also the intended contents of the present invention and are included in the scope of the protection required.
