The objective of this patent application is to present a vehicle-mounted box for storing food and food supplies, with low cost for its industrial feasibility, combined with the requirements of robustness, reliability and practical utility that it offers to the vehicle sector, an additional option in the market of similar products that, unlike conventional improvised food boxes, is endowed with numerous possibilities and benefits, becoming a model of great expectation and acceptance in the sector market. Disposition history 2 / 8 Truck drivers mostly make long-distance trips and need to stop in safe places to, among other things, eat, and they can't always afford to frequent roadside restaurants, especially since some places don't have that type of service infrastructure. On the other hand, at merchandise delivery points, truck drivers often face a completely congested delivery location, with delays in merchandise delivery and often long waiting lines that can last for days until the cargo delivery service is completed. To solve these problems, a wooden box with a lid was developed out of necessity and improvisation. It is usually installed outside the truck or trailer, so the truck driver can use it to store food and as a makeshift mini-kitchen for preparing meals. Weak points of the state of the art The main drawback is that these food storage boxes were initially improvised and had many technical defects, and the boxes that were designed later with better technical properties are made of wood or metal, which makes them heavy and thermally incompatible, since they allow heat to penetrate the inner chamber. On the other hand, the materials currently used, such as wood and metal, are very heavy and prone to rapid damage from any small impact, and even the most modern food storage containers lined with polymer material have drawbacks, as the interior is still made of... 3 / 8 wood that allows for designs with few aesthetic advancements. Summary of the provision Due to the need to offer the market a robust, aesthetically pleasing, practical, lightweight food storage box, among other attributes, the inventor, with his notable sectoral knowledge, created and developed the object of this patent, entitled "ARRANGEMENT INTRODUCED IN A VEHICLE FOOD STORAGE BOX," which conceives a differentiated food storage box, since the interior is produced in stamped sheet metal, as are the drawers and shelf, all with a surface finish in high-resistance electrostatic paint that provides excellent aesthetic quality, in addition to facilitating cleaning and hygiene. The internal metal structure is externally coated, including the door, with a corrugated layer of high thermal and mechanical resistance polymer material, making the assembly lightweight and quite robust. The drawers feature a sliding system that facilitates handling, as well as a door equipped with a seal against dirt and a pair of robust locks that make the whole thing tamper-proof. Thus, the present patent was designed to obtain a food box for trucks and similar vehicles, with the fewest possible components, conveniently configured and arranged to perform its functions with unparalleled efficiency and versatility, without the aforementioned drawbacks.

Detailed description of the incorporation In accordance with what is illustrated in the figures above, the DISPOSITION INTRODUCED IN A VEHICLE BOX FOR PROVISIONS conceives a box for provisions and food that has many advantages over the improvised boxes for this purpose that are commonly observed, especially in trucks parked at service terminals or waiting areas. Among the advantages, we can highlight the presence of adjustable shelves made of steel with an electrostatically painted surface finish, which increases the lifespan against the elements, as well as facilitating cleaning and sanitizing. The lid or door has a design that allows it to be used as a table for meals or food preparation after being opened in the sloping position; and, on one side of the internal compartment, it features three independent and standardized drawers, equipped with slides to facilitate opening and closing, without jamming or requiring effort from the user when handling them. The food storage box is made mostly, specifically its outer layer, from polypropylene polymer material, thus having a lower environmental impact at the end of its useful life, in addition to high resistance and reduced weight that facilitate its placement in the vehicle. 6 / 8 The external surfaces of the box, including the door, can be customized to the customer's liking. The door has an airtight seal that prevents dust and dirt from entering the container's interior, and it also features built-in keys that provide greater security against tampering attempts. Other factors that qualify the food storage box include its thermal insulation property, as it is made with an outer layer of polymeric material and an inner layer, also of polymeric material, both interspersed with thermal insulation material, thus promoting internal thermal balance, in addition to having internal lighting for greater convenience and versatility for the user. More precisely, the thermal insulation is achieved through two plastic walls; only the lid is insulated using plastic and metal. The vehicle food container (1) is a square box-type structure with a width approximately twice its depth and height, equipped with a tilting lid (2) that tilts horizontally flush, three identical vertical drawers (3) and a fixed shelf (4). The vehicle food container (1) is basically constructed in a prismatic rectangular structure (5), whose front face has a lid that opens downwards, internally it has three superimposed drawers (3) along the left side, said drawers (3) occupy approximately one quarter of the internal volume, the remainder of the internal volume being fitted with a shelf (4). Externally, the walls are constructed of 7 / 8 corrugated surface (6) and internally the box is provided with wide grooves (7) or projections, the thermal insulation of the prismatic rectangular structure (5) is effected by means of two polymer walls and the thermal insulation of the lid (2) is effected by a layer of plastic and a metallic layer. The independent vertical drawers (3) are extended or retracted by means of slides and have a handle recess (8) on the front, made of the same base material. The lid (2) when tilted, actuated by hinge (9), is horizontally stabilized by means of two chains (10) that are extended between maximum points of the main structure and the lid (2), one on each side, the lid (2) also having two equidistant external locks (11) in the upper portion above the median, whose actuation mechanism is equipped with metal pins (12) that extend or retract by being properly housed in perforated lamellar bearings (13) positioned on the opposite face of the lid (2), as a T-shaped tongue (14) positioned on the lock (11) itself is rotated to the right or left. The vehicle food container (1) is fixed to longitudinal or cross member mounting brackets, previously built and already used for other purposes. This patent description report addresses an innovative vehicle-mounted food service container that, as evidenced by the analyses and figures shown, presents numerous differences from similar, but improvised, containers on the market, in addition to completely different technical, constructive, and functional characteristics. 8 / 8 different from those relevant to the state of the art.
