Abstract
A semi-conductor transport container is described, which includes a box, a door and an actuated rotary retainer attached to the sidewall of the box to thereby prevent movement of the wafers within a wafer cassette during transportation and storage. The rotary retainer includes flexible fingers that apply a slight force against the wafers when the box is engaged with the box. The rotary retainer is simple, requires less moving parts, and rotates automatically, completely away from the wafers when the box is disengaged from the door. Also, the box seals with the door, when engaged with a door, thereby creating a particle free storage area.
