Abstract
An anti-static container for electronic circuit boards and the like includes a generally rectangular box having opposed end walls, opposed side walls, a bottom panel extending therebetween, and an open top. Disposed within the box is a liner formed of an anti-static substance. The liner is generally co-extensive with the bottom panel, and includes side portions which impinge upon the lower portions of the side walls. The side portions include slots for supporting a plurality of circuit boards on edge in upwardly extending fashion. Conductive rivets or lugs extend through the bottom panel of the box to connect the liner with an external ground plane, so that static charges cannot accumulate or be imparted to the circuit boards within the box.
