Claim 5:
6. A carrier positioning member that is fixed to a base and that positions, on the base, a carrier storing a plurality of plate-shaped loads such that front faces or rear faces thereof face the base, the carrier positioning member comprising:
a first support member including a first front-side stopper part that comes into contact with a first opening edge part being one end of an opening of the carrier to restrict movement of the carrier to a front side, a first rear-side stopper part that comes into contact with a first plate-shaped end part formed on a rear side in the carrier to restrict movement of the carrier to the rear side and movement in a direction vertical to the base, and a first guide part that connects the first front-side stopper part and the first rear-side stopper part and guides the first plate-shaped end part of the carrier to the first rear-side stopper part; and
a second support member including a second front-side stopper part that comes into contact with a second opening edge part being the other end of the opening of the carrier to restrict movement of the carrier to the front side, a second rear-side stopper part that comes into contact with a second plate-shaped end part formed on the rear side of the carrier to restrict movement of the carrier to the rear side and movement in the direction vertical to the base, and a second guide part that connects the second front-side stopper part and the second rear-side stopper part and guides the second plate-shaped end part of the carrier to the second rear-side stopper part, wherein
the front side is a side in an opening of the carrier in which the plate-shaped loads are taken in and out, and the rear side is a side opposite to the opening of the carrier.
