TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION [1] This utility model patent application belongs to the field of accessories intended for the delivery and transport of food, and refers more specifically to a transport box fixed to the luggage rack of a motorcycle. [2] The transport box has as its main characteristic the fact that it contains equipment inside, which, regardless of the lateral angle the motorcycle is at, whether to the left or right, the equipment remains on the zero axis, that is, it keeps the packaging at the central angle, regardless of the angle the delivery person needs to turn the motorcycle, even on sharper curves. In this way, the food packaging does not suffer impact, reducing the risk of damage, as well as preventing liquid leaks. [3] The patent application in question therefore describes equipment that has been specially designed and developed with perfection and efficiency, in order to provide protection and safety for food packaging during transit to the recipient, as well as bringing great advantages in its use. [4] It is also the objective of the present application to present a transport box that fulfills all the requirements of robustness, safety and practical utility, thus offering the consumer public an additional option in the market of similar products, becoming a model of great acceptance in the sector market. STATE OF THE ART [5] Currently, delivery sales have experienced an exponential increase, due to people's increasingly busy daily lives and often not having time to eat properly or go to a place to eat. In view of this, the Petition 870200097647, dated 04 / 08 / 2020, page 8 / 16 / 6 The market seeks to offer practical means to provide increasingly faster service without sacrificing quality. [6] The motorcycle is the most adopted means of transport by delivery drivers, as it avoids traffic jams and consumes less fuel. Delivery is carried out with the aid of transport boxes, which are fixed to the motorcycle's luggage rack or attached to the driver's back by means of straps. However, the transport boxes available on the market do not have the necessary security for the order. With the sharp curves and uneven roads encountered during the delivery route, the order suffers impacts, which may damage the food packaging and / or cause liquid leaks, resulting in possible customer dissatisfaction. [7] In order to place a completely new piece of equipment on the market, a series of searches were carried out in search of prior art in some specialized databases and the following processes were found there: [8] BR 10 2015 006468-3 - “ADAPTED BOXES AND MOTORCYCLE TRANSPORTERS FOR DELIVERY OF HOT FOOD TO CUSTOMERS' RESIDENCES”, the disclosed utility model refers generically to boxes developed for coupling to motorcycles that enable the delivery of hot food, heated by means of thermal plates (09) that are connected to batteries (07 / 25). The boxes are developed in fiberglass and installed on motorcycles. The boxes can be of two types. The first (01) has two compartments, the lower one, which has all the electrical parts, a specially developed automotive battery (07), connection and two (female) sockets (06) to receive the (male) socket of the electric heaters, and the upper one, which is separated from the lower one by a fiberglass partition, having the space to place the aforementioned heaters and the food.The second type of trunk (14) is developed in fiberglass, smaller in size, constructed with thermal insulation coated with plastic, with the same electric heaters internally; this trunk is attached (15) to the back of the motorcyclists and a wire comes out of it as a plug (male) to connect to the power, which is generated by a battery (25), which is in a fiberglass box that has all the electrical wiring and two plugs (female); this battery is tied to the motorcycle and. Petition 870200097647, dated 04 / 08 / 2020, page 9 / 16 / 6 enables access to energy for heaters located near the backs of motorcyclists. [9] BR 10 2013 026637-0- “MOTORCYCLE TRUNK OVEN WITH EXHAUST GAS UTILIZATION”, characterized by being constituted by a square-shaped, double-walled trunk in which there is located a copper pipe in the shape of a serpentine that has at one end where there is a nut that comes out of the trunk through the hole and connects to the reduction piece that fits into the nut located on the copper pipe that passes through the motorcycle fairing at its end there is the nut that connects to the pressure valve this fits into the reduction piece that is making the connection to the exhaust the exhaust gas passes through the hole with a great pressure it travels through the copper pipe because of the opening of the pressure valve the gas travels through the copper pipe in the shape of a serpentine this in turn heats the air around it.After traveling through the coil, the exhaust gas goes to the end that exits inside the trunk through the hole where the nut is located. This nut connects to the reduction gear and fits into the nut located on the copper pipe that runs inside the motorcycle's fairing, connecting the nut to the reduction gear. This causes the gas to pass through the hole and enter the exhaust to be expelled. This cycle causes the copper pipe to heat up due to the gas resulting from the engine's combustion. With the copper pipe hot, the air inside the trunk will remain hot, keeping the food at the same temperature, effectively turning the trunk into a greenhouse.

[10] The documents listed above, although belonging to the same technical field, do not present the same characteristics as the equipment now improved, that is, they do not have a feature to prevent any type of damage related to the food packaging and consequently the food itself, therefore, it meets the legal requirements for patentability.
