The implementation of the invention

The container (figure 1) contains a transparent bottom with a transparent window 20, and can be made of any material, for example, glass, food plastic, etc., and can be made in the form of volumetric figures, for example, a truncated pyramid, a truncated cone, a hemisphere, etc. The bottom of the container 20 (FIG. 1) can be made flat or convex so that food flows from the middle of the bottom of the container to the edges.

 The outer lower side of the bottom of the tank contains two arcuate flat plates 16 (figure 1), rigidly fixed perpendicular to the bottom. In this case, the flat plates are located opposite each other. In the central part of each flat plate (Fig. 1), an elastic element is made representing an elastic latch 17 (Fig. 1) and (Fig. 4), one free side which has a protrusion 17 (Fig. 4), for example, in the form of a wedge or drops, for reliable fixation with grooves 18 located on the sides of the housing of the image carrier (Fig. 2) and (Fig. C).

 The image carrier is a video display (information display unit), which consists of a housing 19, which contains electronic elements (figure 4). The housing 19 of the image carrier consists of an upper 1 (FIG. 2) and a lower cover 2 (FIG. 2), an attachment ramp of the image carrier 3, an anti-skid substrate 5 fixed to the surface of the lower cover (FIG. 2) and (FIG. 3). The housing 19 is made of plastic (figure 4).

The top cover of the housing 1 (figure 2) is made in the form of a rectangle in which two opposite sides are rounded. The top cover of the housing 1 includes side walls (Fig.Z). In the central part of the surface of the top cover (Fig. 3) there is a cutout 21 made to accommodate a video display (screen). The cutout of the top cover may have a different shape, for example, in the form of a square or an oval or a rectangle. In this case, the cutout is made with a recess in the middle of the upper housing cover, for tight installation of the screen and processing of this recess with sealant 1 1 (figure 2), to prevent liquid from entering inside the case (FIG. 2) and (FIG. 3). On the rounded walls of the upper case cover (FIG. 2) and (FIG. 3), fixing grooves (recesses) 18 are made for reliable fixing (fastening) to the container (FIG. 1) by means of side latches 17. In addition, on the side of the upper cover the housing has openings 24, for placing the caps of the control buttons (FIG. 2), as well as an opening 14 for connecting the mini USB wire (FIG. 3). The inner part of the upper housing cover includes protrusions with holes 23 for connection with the lower housing cover (Fig.Z).

 The lower cover (Fig.2) and (Fig.Z) of the housing 2 fits snugly against the upper cover of the housing 1, and they are interconnected through aligned holes that are made on the protruding elements, using fasteners, such as screws 4. In addition, the inner side of the lower case cover contains protruding elements with holes for mounting the ramp, on which the motherboard 12 and devices in the form of angles are located, for fixing the board on which the mini USB is located, as well as for fixing the battery (Fig. 2). The surface of the bottom cover has through holes 13 for the passage of the sound wave from the speaker (Fig.Z).

 The mounting plate 3 of the image carrier (FIG. 2) and (FIG. 3) is attached to the bottom cover of the housing, via the ears 22. In addition, fastenings for fixing the motherboard 12 (FIG. 2) and (FIG. 3) with micro-screws 4 are made on the ramp (FIG. 2) and (FIG. 3). On the reverse side of the ramp, restrictive frames 3 (FIG. 2) and (FIG. 3) are made for mounting the screen (display) and fixing it.

On the outer surface of the lower cover of the housing (Fig.2) and (Fig.Z) contains anti-slip coating 5, which prevents sliding on a surface, such as a table. An anti-slip coating is a substrate made of a soft material such as rubber or silicone. The substrate contains a cutout, due to which the sound outlet holes from the speaker 13 are not closed (Fig. 3).
