A hermetic compressor including a discharge valve system in a cylinder. A discharge valve system includes a discharge reed having an opening/closing portion and a discharge reed holding portion, a spring reed having a movable portion and a spring reed holding portion, and a stopper having a regulation portion and a stopper holding portion. The discharge reed, the spring reed and the stopper are fixed in this order to a pedestal of a valve plate. At a spring reed bending portion provided in a movable portion, the movable portion is bent toward the direction of the valve seat and the tip portion is brought into contact with the plate contact portion. Space is provided between the movable portion of the spring reed and the opening/closing portion of the discharge reed, and both are not brought into close contact with each other. Thus, delay in closing discharge reed can be prevented and deterioration of the refrigerating capacity can be suppressed.
