Abstract
Abstract A container for use with electrostatic sensitive electronic components comprises a box-like carton whose exterior and interior surfaces are coated with a material forming a substantially continuous conductive path. A liner of convoluted foam impregnated with a conductive material is secured to the interior surfaces of the lid and the bottom of the box-like carton, the impregnated conductive material forming a continuous conductive path with the conductive coating.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
A container for use with electrostatic sensitive electronic components comprising: a box-like structure having a bottom, a pair of opposed side walls, a pair of opposed end walls and a top movable between a first position exposing the interior of said box-like structure and a second position enclosing said box-like structure; a continuous conductive coating formed overlying substantially all of the exterior and interior surfaces of said box-like structure; and a liner of convoluted foam impregnated with a conductive material secured to the interior surfaces of said top and bottom for promoting intimate contact with an article contained within said box-like structure, said conductive material forming a continuous conductive path with said conductive coating, whereby a continuous conductive path is established between the exterior surface of said box-like structure and an article contained therein.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
