Abstract

The present invention relates to an accommodation container and, more specifically, to an accommodation container capable of easily and simply winding a flexible glass-bonded substrate and accommodating the same. To this end, the present invention provides the accommodation container comprising: a container body having a slit, formed at one side thereof, for providing a passage such that the flexible glass-bonded substrate having magnetism is inserted or withdrawn; and a core part rotatably formed inside the container body, formed in parallel to the slit, and winding, around the outer peripheral surface thereof, the flexible glass-bonded substrate by rotation in a state in which the end portion of the flexible glass-bonded substrate, inserted into the container body through the slit, is fixed by magnetic adsorption.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A storage container comprising:
 a container body having an entrance through which a flexible glass-bonded substrate is introduced and withdrawn, the flexible glass-bonded substrate having magnetism; and   a core part rotatably disposed within the container body, wherein the core part can magnetically hold a proximal end of the flexible glass-bonded substrate introduced into the container body through the entrance, such that the flexible glass-bonded substrate is wound around an outer circumferential surface of the core part when the core part is rotated.   
     
     
         2 . The storage container of  claim 1 , wherein the entrance comprises a slit, and
 the core part is configured to extend in parallel with the slit within the container body.   
     
     
         3 . The storage container of  claim 1 , wherein the core part comprises magnet units which enables the core part to magnetically hold the proximal end of the flexible glass-bonded substrate. 
     
     
         4 . The storage container of  claim 3 , wherein the core part further comprises a core body having both ends opposing each other in a longitudinal direction of the core body, and are rotatably coupled to corresponding walls of the container body. 
     
     
         5 . The storage container of  claim 4 , wherein the core body has a cylindrical shape and has a hollow interior space therein; and
 the magnet units are arranged on an inner circumferential surface of the core body in the longitudinal direction of the core body, thereby the proximal end of the flexible glass-bonded substrate sticking to an outer circumferential surface of the core body.   
     
     
         6 . The storage container of  claim 4 ,
 wherein the magnet units are arranged on an outer circumferential surface of the core body in the longitudinal direction of the core body, thereby the proximal end of the flexible glass-bonded substrate sticking to the magnet units.   
     
     
         7 . The storage container of  claim 4 , wherein the core body comprises:
 a plurality of disks erected perpendicularly to a bottom surface of the container body, and spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the core body while facing each other; and   a plurality of connecting bars connecting outer circumferential surfaces of the plurality of disks together and extending in the longitudinal direction of the core body.   
     
     
         8 . The storage container of  claim 7 , wherein each of the disks has at least one hole extending through a thickness thereof. 
     
     
         9 . The storage container of  claim 7 , wherein the magnet units are disposed on at least one connecting bar among the plurality of connecting bars. 
     
     
         10 . The storage container of  claim 7 , wherein the magnet units are disposed on at least two connecting bars adjacent to each other among the plurality of connecting bars. 
     
     
         11 . The storage container of  claim 7 , wherein the plurality of disks have fitting recesses on the outer circumferential surfaces of the disks, each fitting recess having a depth corresponding to a thickness of each connecting bar, and the plurality of connecting bars are fitted into the fitting recesses of the plurality of disks. 
     
     
         12 . The storage container of  claim 7 , wherein the plurality of connecting bars have recesses on surfaces thereof, each recess having a depth corresponding to a thickness of each magnet unit, and the magnet units are fitted into the recesses of the plurality of connecting bars. 
     
     
         13 . The storage container of  claim 1 , further comprising a guide part disposed on a bottom surface of the container body, the guide part guiding the flexible glass-bonded substrate introduced into the container body toward the core part. 
     
     
         14 . The storage container of  claim 13 , wherein the guide part comprises an inclined surface inclined upwardly toward the core part in a direction in which the flexible glass-bonded substrate is introduced. 
     
     
         15 . The storage container of  claim 14 , wherein the guide part further comprises a horizontal surface below the core part and connected to the inclined surface,
 the storage container further comprising at least one roller disposed on the horizontal surface, the at least one roller being in rolling contact with an underside surface of the flexible glass-bonded surface.   
     
     
         16 . The storage container of  claim 15 , wherein the roller is elastically supported in a top-bottom direction. 
     
     
         17 . The storage container of  claim 1 , further comprising a brush on an upper surface of the entrance, such that an upper surface of the flexible glass-bonded substrate comes into contact with the brush. 
     
     
         18 . The storage container of  claim 1 , further comprising handles connected to the core part, and projecting from outer surfaces of the container body, such that a user can rotate the core part using the handles. 
     
     
         19 . The storage container of  claim 1 , wherein the flexible glass-bonded substrate comprises a base substrate and an ultra-thin sheet of glass bonded to the base substrate. 
     
     
         20 . The storage container of  claim 19 , wherein a thickness of the ultra-thin sheet of glass is 0.3 mm or less. 
     
     
         21 - 23 . (canceled)
