ABSTRACT:
An ice cube dispenser with a cylindrical bin having a bottom arcuate ramp leading to a side opening through which ice cubes are pushed by rotating agitator blades. The cube dispensing rate is adjusted by positioning a deflector plate from the ramp to a selected vertical position in the opening, thus effectively changing the opening size. The dispensed cubes are guided by plates defining a flexing wall chute. A glass trigger, when pivoted by a glass, opens a door over said opening and trips a switch that actuates the agitator blades.
