Box for carrying substrates

Abstract

A box for carrying substrates that includes a box body having an upper opening, walls and a bottom, the walls and the bottom defining therein a substrate-receiving space, and a box cover having sidewalls and a covering section so as to cover and close the upper opening of the box body. The box cover is made of a transparent material which allows the substrate-receiving space inside the box body to be seen. The substrates which are used for displays can be carried and kept in the box.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A box for carrying substrates, comprising:
 a box body having an upper opening, walls and a bottom, the walls and the bottom defining therein a substrate-receiving space; and   a box cover having sidewalls and a covering section so as to cover and close the upper opening of the box body,   wherein the entirety or a part of the box cover comprises a transparent material which allows the substrate-receiving space inside the box body to be seen.   
     
     
         2 . The box of  claim 1 , wherein a first transparent window is formed in the covering section of the box cover, the first transparent window comprising the transparent material which allows the substrate-receiving space inside the box body to be seen. 
     
     
         3 . The box of  claim 2 , wherein the first transparent window is formed in a local portion of the covering section of the box cover. 
     
     
         4 . The box of  claim 3 , wherein a plurality of the transparent windows are formed in the covering section of the box cover. 
     
     
         5 . The box of  claim 4 , wherein the plurality of the first transparent windows are formed in a central portion and at both sides of the central portion of the covering section of the box cover respectively. 
     
     
         6 . The box of  claim 2 , further comprising second transparent windows formed in a pair of opposing sidewalls of the four sidewalls of the box cover, such that both edges of the substrates are viewable through the second transparent windows. 
     
     
         7 . The box of  claim 1 , further comprising a support pad coupled to the inner surface of the covering section of the box cover, the support pad having a plurality of support grooves into and by which the substrates received in the box body are inserted and held. 
     
     
         8 . The box of  claim 7 , wherein the support grooves have an upside-down “Y” shaped cross-section. 
     
     
         9 . The box of  claim 3 , further comprising a support pad coupled to a local portion of the inner surface of the covering section of the box cover in which the first transparent window is not formed, the support pad having a plurality of support grooves into and by which the substrates received in the box body are inserted and held. 
     
     
         10 . The box of  claim 9 , wherein the support grooves have an upside-down “Y” shaped cross-section. 
     
     
         11 . The box of  claim 1 , further comprising support slots coupled to a pair of opposing inner surfaces of the sidewalls of the box cover, each of the support slots having a plurality of support grooves which supports the substrates received in the box body. 
     
     
         12 . The box of  claim 1 , wherein the box cover comprises an acrylic material, and has a thickness of 1.5 mm. 
     
     
         13 . The box of  claim 2 , wherein the first transparent window comprises an acrylic material, and has a thickness of 1.5 mm. 
     
     
         14 . The box of  claim 6 , wherein the second transparent windows comprises an acrylic material, and have a thickness of 1.5 mm. 
     
     
         15 . The box of  claim 1 , wherein the box body has a plurality of insertion grooves formed in a pair of opposing inner surfaces of the walls thereof, wherein the substrates received in the box body are inserted into and held by the insertion grooves.
