Abstract

Provided is a panel storage container that can suppress flexure of the middle portions of the panels. A panel storage container has: a container body for storing panels; and a panel support means for supporting the panels. The panel support means has: a panel support portion for supporting right and left edges of the panels; a central support portion for supporting each middle portion of the panels; and elastic bodies for contacting the panels, the elastic bodies being provided along a front and rear direction of the central support portion at a predetermined interval.

Claims (41)

1. A panel storage container comprising:

a container body for storing panels; and

a panel support means for supporting the panels,

wherein the panel support means includes:

a panel support body for supporting right and left edges of the panels;

a central support portion that extends along a front and rear direction and supports each middle portion of the panels; and

elastic bodies contacting the panels,

wherein the elastic bodies are provided along a front and rear direction of the central support portion at a predetermined interval;

wherein the panel support means includes a side support portion that extends along a front and rear direction and of which one end is attached to the container body; and

the elastic bodies are provided along the front and rear direction of the side support portion at a predetermined interval.

2. The panel storage container according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic bodies are annular shaped.

3. The panel storage container according to claim 2 , wherein the cross section of the elastic bodies is formed in a circular shape.

4. The panel storage container according to claim 1 , wherein

the side support portion is a solid or hollow cylindrical member.

5. The panel storage container according to claim 1 , wherein the central support portion is a solid or hollow cylindrical member.

6. The panel storage container according to claim 4 , wherein

multiple grooves for fitting with the elastic bodies are provided on a circumferential surface of the solid or hollow cylindrical member.

7. The panel storage container according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined interval ranges from 50 mm to 100 mm.

8. The panel storage container according to claim 1 , wherein

a rear end of the central support portion in the front and rear direction is attached to the container body via a support holding member, and a front end of the central support portion in the front and rear direction is positioned backward of a front edge of the middle portion of each panel stored in the container body.

9. The panel storage container according to claim 5 , wherein

multiple grooves for fitting with the elastic bodies are provided on a circumferential surface of the solid or hollow cylindrical member.

10. A panel storage container comprising:

a container body for storing panels; and
