Slow cooker

Abstract

The present invention is a slow cooker. It has a housing, a container disposed in a hollow body of the housing, a lid and a sealing ring which sealingly engage the lid and the container. The container has a rim which is securely disposed with an engaging means for engaging with the lid. The engaging means comprises a movable member and an upper stationary member securely disposed on the rim of the container. The upper stationary member has an upper surface which is disposed with a sliding plate for the movable member to move thereon. The sliding plate has a limiting end surface atop for limiting movement of the movable member. A space is formed between the limiting end surface and the sliding plate for a tongue of the movable member to pass through. The movable member is disposed on the sliding plate of the upper stationary member. The tongue of the movable member passes through the space of the upper stationary member to press onto the lid, and the movable member is secured onto the sliding plate of the upper stationary member via a snapping means. The present invention is simple in structure, convenient and practical, capable of preventing spillage of liquid content, and is convenient to operate, uses only few component parts, simple to assemble, and is therefore capable of enhancing manufacturing efficiency and substantially lowering the costs.
