Abstract

An airtight container includes a base and a cover mounted on the base. The cover includes a recess defined in a peripheral thereof. A through hole is defined in a bottom of the recess and at least one air channel is defined adjacent to the through hole. The cover includes an airtight device having a button and an anchor clip. The button includes a protrusion and at least one resilient member formed integrally. The protrusion extends into the through hole and fixedly mounts with the anchor clip for simultaneously moving with the button and interacting with the through hole and the at least one air channel to switch an airtight status. When pushing the button, the airtight status is dismissed. When releasing the button, the airtight status is restored due to the reposition of the button by a restitution force of the resilient member.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An airtight container comprising:
 a base; and   a cover airtightly mounted on the base and including an airtight device having a T-shaped button mounted therein, the button having at least one resilient member formed in one piece by injection;   whereby an airtight status is dismissed by pushing the button during operating the cover, the button is repositioned by a restitution force of the resilient member and the airtight status is restored as releasing the button.   
   
   
       2 . The airtight container as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the cover includes a recess defined in a peripheral thereof for mounting the button, a through hole is defined in a bottom of the recess and at least one air channel is defined in the bottom of the recess adjacent to the through hole, a protrusion formed on the button extends into the through hole to form the T-shape, the airtight device includes an anchor clip mounted with the protrusion for simultaneously moving with the button and interacting with the through hole and the at least one air channel to switch the airtight status. 
   
   
       3 . The airtight container as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the button includes at least one cutout for providing a ventilated function. 
   
   
       4 . An airtight container comprising:
 a cover; and   a base airtightly mounted on the cover and including an airtight device having a T-shaped button mounted therein, the button having at least one resilient member formed in one piece by injection,   whereby an airtight status is dismissed by pushing the button during operating the cover, the button is repositioned by a restitution force of the resilient member and the airtight status is restored as releasing the button.   
   
   
       5 . The airtight container as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the base includes a recess defined in a peripheral thereof for mounting the button, a through hole is defined in a bottom of the recess and at least one air channel is defined in the bottom of the recess adjacent to the through hole, a protrusion formed on the button extends into the through hole to form the T-shape, the airtight device includes an anchor clip mounted with the protrusion for simultaneously moving with the button and interacting with the through hole and the at least one air channel to switch the airtight status. 
   
   
       6 . The airtight container as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the button includes at least one cutout for providing a ventilated function.
