[0013] THE CONSTRUCTION DISPOSITION INTRODUCED INTO A PORTABLE FOOD CONTAINER consists of a portable food container (1) configured by a two-part casing (2), which is formed by a lid (3) equipped with an internal packaging compartment (4), also having handles (5). The two-part casing (2) is also formed by a lower base (6), which incorporates a container (7) equipped with compartments for packaging (8) food, also having an on / off button (B) connected to a metal plate (9) and an electric heating element (10), also comprising rechargeable batteries (11) and an indicator LED (12).

[0014] More particularly, the portable food container (1) has as a differential the fact that the lower base (6) of the bipartite casing (2) includes a spiral resistance (13) incorporated in the metal plate (9), which spiral resistance (13) is powered by a bank of rechargeable batteries (14) of 10A. Between the metal plate (9) and the bank of rechargeable batteries (14) there are two thermal protective elements (15), which separate the metal plate (9) from the bank of rechargeable batteries (14), aiming to inhibit the transfer of thermal energy to said bank of rechargeable batteries (14), in order to not damage them.

[0015] The lower base (6) also has a charging device (16) in 12v, 24v, 110v and 220v, multi voltage and a battery controller (17), which allow the rechargeable battery bank (14) to be charged by means of a conventional photovoltaic panel, as well as by residential or commercial electricity, as well as by heating the spiral resistance (13). In addition, the indicator LED (12) is positioned centrally on the lower base (6), while the illuminated on / off button (B) is configured next to the charging device (16) on the side of the lower base (16).

[0016] In terms of operation, the battery controller (17) connected to the charging device (16), allows the rechargeable battery bank (14) to store energy, the energy accumulated in the rechargeable battery bank (14) being used to heat the spiral resistance (13), which in turn heats a container (7) with compartments for storing food (8).

[0017] It is worth noting that the spiral resistance (13) can also be a plate resistance.

[0018] In summary, this model aims to provide practicality and convenience in charging the rechargeable battery bank (14), given that it has a charging device (16) at 12v, 24v, 110v and 220v and a battery controller (17). Furthermore, it provides a portable food container (1) consisting of a rechargeable battery bank (14) that can be recharged by a photovoltaic panel, in addition to heating food in the portable food container (1) in an agile and practical way.

[0019] However, due to the advantages it offers and its truly innovative characteristics, the CONSTRUCTION DISPOSITION INTRODUCED INTO A PORTABLE FOOD CONTAINER meets the necessary conditions to deserve a Utility Model Patent.
