Abstract

Provided is a glass substrate package ( 1 ), including a plurality of disc-shaped glass substrates ( 2 ) packaged in a box ( 3 ), in which the plurality of disc-shaped glass substrates ( 2 ) are stacked and packaged in a horizontal posture under a state in which slip sheets ( 4 ) are interposed between the plurality of disc-shaped glass substrates ( 2 ).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A glass substrate package, comprising a plurality of disc-shaped glass substrates packaged in a packaging material,
wherein the plurality of disc-shaped glass substrates are stacked and packaged in a horizontal posture under a state in which protective sheets are interposed between the plurality of disc-shaped glass substrates,
wherein each of the plurality of disc-shaped glass substrates comprises a positioning portion formed by partially removing an outer peripheral end portion thereof in order to position the disc-shaped glass substrates,
wherein the packaging material comprises a side wall portion configured to surround the outer peripheral end portions of the plurality of disc-shaped glass substrates,
wherein the plurality of disc-shaped glass substrates are packaged so that the positioning portions are free from being brought into contact with the side wall portion, and
wherein part of the outer peripheral end portion of each of the plurality of disc-shaped glass substrates is brought into contact with the side wall portion.

2. The glass substrate package according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of disc-shaped glass substrates are stacked under a state in which positions of the positioning portions are aligned with each other.

3. The glass substrate package according to claim 1 ,
wherein the packaging material comprises an upper wall portion opposed to the disc-shaped glass substrate positioned in an uppermost layer of the plurality of disc-shaped glass substrates, and
wherein the disc-shaped glass substrate positioned in the uppermost layer and the upper wall portion have a cushioning material filled therebetween.

4. The glass substrate package according to claim 1 , wherein the packaging material comprises a box-shaped member, and the box-shaped member is formed in a developable manner.

5. The glass substrate package according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning portion is a notch or an orientation flat.

6. A glass substrate package, comprising a plurality of disc-shaped glass substrates packaged in a packaging material,
wherein the plurality of disc-shaped glass substrates are stacked and packaged in a horizontal posture under a state in which protective sheets are interposed between the plurality of disc-shaped glass substrates,
wherein each of the plurality of disc-shaped glass substrates comprises a positioning portion formed by partially removing an outer peripheral end portion thereof in order to position the disc-shaped glass substrates,
wherein the packaging material comprises a side wall portion configured to surround the outer peripheral end portions of the plurality of disc-shaped glass substrates,
wherein the plurality of disc-shaped glass substrates are packaged so that the positioning portions are free from being brought into contact with the side wall portion,
wherein part of the outer peripheral end portion of each of the plurality of disc-shaped glass substrates is brought into contact with the side wall portion, and
wherein, when the plurality of disc-shaped glass substrates are seen in plan view, the side wall portion forms a square circumscribing the plurality of disc-shaped glass substrates.
