Characterizes the present invention the special configuration and design of the elements used, so that a lunch box is achieved that ensures the fixation of the lid in a different place for the closure of the lunch box, which ensures that the lid is not lost in addition to allow stacking the "tupperware".

The present invention is limited to lunchboxes and "tupperwares".

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Everyone knows that lunchboxes or "tupperwares" are each more present and in greater numbers both in homes and in hospitality establishments. One of the difficulties is its storage. Since the closed lunch boxes occupy a lot and do not allow the nested or stacked arrangement of lunch boxes of similar or smaller dimensions, usually the covers of the lunch boxes are stored on one side and, on the other hand, the body of the lunch box. This also allows the containers to be stored with proper ventilation.

This situation results in that when you want to recover a lunch box it becomes quite complicated to be able to recover the linked lid, even being able to get lost, making the body of the lunch box useless.

Therefore, it is the object of the present invention to overcome the aforementioned disadvantages of loss of covers of the lunch boxes, developing lunch boxes or tupperwares such as those described below and are collected in their essentiality in the first claim.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is a lunch box with additional fixing for the covers, different from the closing fastener of the lunch box.

Among the multiple possibilities to link or fix the cover to the body of the lunch box, the most useful is to be able to fix the cover on the base of the lunch box as well as on the inside access mouth.

To be able to fix the cover on the base of the lunch box, it has such means that allow the fixing of the cover also on the base.

A possible embodiment of said means for fixing the cover on the base and on the mouth of the lunch box, could consist of a perimeter projection on which a projection arranged on tilting fins can be fixed.

Another possible embodiment could consist of any other form of existing fit for fixing the covers on the lunch boxes, reproducing said design on the base, so as to allow the fixing of the cover on the base of the body of the lunch box.

The inventive essence does not reside in the particular way of fixing the lid on the lunch box, but in the provision of additional fixing means

on the base of the lunch box, where said fixing means arranged in the base could be the same as those arranged for closing the lunch box or different.

Unless otherwise indicated, all the technical and scientific elements used herein have the meaning normally understood by a normal expert in the technique to which this invention belongs. In the practice of the present invention procedures and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used.

Throughout the description and the claims the word "comprises" and its variants are not intended to exclude other technical characteristics, additives, components or steps. For those skilled in the art, other objects, advantages and characteristics of the invention will be derived partly from the description and partly from the practice of the invention.

In figure 1 we can see a lunch box in which the body of the lunch box (1) and the cover of the lunch box (2) is distinguished, in this case closing the lunch box.

In figure 2 it can be seen that the cover (2) is fixed on the base of the body of the lunch box (1), counting to be able to perform said operation with superior fixing means that serve to fix and close the cover on the body of the lunch box (1), and with lower fixing means used to fix the cover (2) on the base of the body of the lunch box (1).

Figure 3 shows how thanks to the fact that the lower lunch box has the cover (2) attached to the base of the body of the lunch box (1) another similar lunch box can be stacked that has the cover (2) closing the lunch box.

For this, in the embodiment shown, the upper fixing means consist of an upper perimeter projection (3) and the lower fixing means consist of a lower perimeter projection (4), while the covers (2) have on their sides some tilting fins (5) from which some flanges or projections (6) emerge for fixing on the perimeter projections (3) and (4).

Therefore, thanks to the solution provided, the covers are connected to their bases, not limiting the stacked arrangement of the lunch boxes.

Describing sufficiently the nature of the present invention, as well as the way of putting it into practice, it is stated that, within its essentiality, it may be put into practice in other embodiments that differ in detail from that indicated by way of example, and to which it will also achieve the protection that is sought, provided that it does not alter, change or modify its fundamental principle.
