Disposable Portable Food Container Device

Abstract

A disposable portable food container device holds food in a container which can be sealed for transport, reheated, and disposed after use. The device includes a container which is cylindrical having a bottom wall and a perimeter wall integrally coupled to and extending upwardly from the bottom wall to define an interior space configured for holding food. The container is constructed of a formable metal and an upper edge of the perimeter wall defines an opening into the interior space. A lid has a central portion and a peripheral skirt conformable to extend over and around the upper edge of the perimeter wall wherein the lid sealingly engages the container enclosing the interior space.

1 . A disposable portable food container device comprising:
 a container, said container being cylindrical having a bottom wall and a perimeter wall integrally coupled to and extending upwardly from said bottom wall to define an interior space configured for holding food, said bottom wall being planar, said container being constructed of a formable metal, an upper edge of said perimeter wall defining an opening into said interior space, said perimeter wall having a curved lower section and a straight upper section, said curved lower section curving outwardly and upwardly away from a perimeter edge of said bottom wall to said straight upper section, said straight upper section being perpendicular to said bottom wall; and   a lid having a central portion and a peripheral skirt extending from said central portion, said peripheral skirt being conformable to extend over and around said upper edge of said perimeter wall wherein said lid sealingly engages said container enclosing said interior space.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising said lid being constructed of a metal foil. 
     
     
         3 . (canceled) 
     
     
         4 . (canceled) 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a lip extending outwardly from said perimeter wall around said upper edge of said perimeter wall. 
     
     
         6 . A disposable portable food container device comprising:
 a container, said container being cylindrical having a bottom wall and a perimeter wall integrally coupled to and extending upwardly from said bottom wall to define an interior space configured for holding food, said bottom wall being planar, said container being constructed of a formable metal, an upper edge of said perimeter wall defining an opening into said interior space, said perimeter wall having a curved lower section and a straight upper section, said curved lower section curving outwardly and upwardly away from a perimeter edge of said bottom wall to said straight upper section, said straight upper section being perpendicular to said bottom wall;   a lid having a central portion and a peripheral skirt extending from said central portion, said peripheral skirt being conformable to extend over and around said upper edge of said perimeter wall wherein said lid sealingly engages said container enclosing said interior space, said lid being constructed of a metal foil; and   a lip extending outwardly from said perimeter wall around said upper edge of said perimeter wall, said peripheral skirt being coextensive with an outer surface of said lip when said lid is coupled to said container.
