When the protrusion B12e of the engaging means is unlocked, the other protrusions B12e of the other two engaging means are simultaneously unlocked.

  Then, when the galley B is rotated clockwise (closed direction) and the alignment mark B12f reaches the alignment mark A20b of “LOCK”, the protrusion fits into the fitting portion A41 at the end of the guide portion A40 and becomes locked. Unless the galley B is rotated counterclockwise (opening direction) with a predetermined force or more, the protrusion B12e is prevented from being detached. When the protrusion B12e of the engaging means is locked, the other protrusions B12e of the other two engaging means are simultaneously locked. The positions and number of the engaging means A40, B12e can be changed as appropriate.

  When each of the engaging means A40, B12e is in the locked state, the substantially L-shaped projection A11 of the cylindrical portion A10 of the outer frame A and the latching tool C11a of the filter surrounding portion C10 of the gallery rear portion B20.

Moving up, the airtight valve B15 moves backward. When the airtight valve B15 reaches the filter front surface contact portion C30 of the rear gallery B20, the air hole C31 of the filter front surface contact portion C30 is closed by the airtight packing B15d.

  The vent hole C31 is entirely blocked by the planar contact surface (airtight packing B15d) of the airtight valve B15, including the vicinity of the peripheral edge thereof, so that a gap is hardly formed and high airtightness is obtained.

  When the knob B11 is rotated counterclockwise, the airtight valve B15 moves forward and enters a ventilation state.

[Filter mounting mechanism]
In order to mount the filter C20 having a small thickness on the rear gallery B20, the filter C20 is arranged inside the filter enclosure C10, the filter presser C40 is pushed in from behind, and the presser is rotated clockwise as viewed from the rear. Then, each protrusion (engagement / disengagement means C41) on the outer peripheral portion is hooked to the front locking portion C12a. In order to attach a filter having a large thickness, similarly, each protrusion (engagement / disengagement means C41) on the outer periphery of the filter presser C40 is hooked on the rear locking portion C12b.

  The above-described airtight mechanism and filter attaching / detaching mechanism can be omitted or changed.

  The above is the preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, and can be implemented by appropriately changing the shape, dimensions, material, and the like.
