ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for forming ice cubes mold means are provided having walls that define a plurality of separate cavities. A resilient, pliable empty bag is brought into engagement in a mold to be frozen and is placed in contact with the mold means. Preferably the mold means is comprised of two mold sections between which is sandwiched the liquid pliable package which because of its inherent resiliency and pliability the liquid filled package conforms to the shape of the cavities in the mold means. Passageways are provided that interconnect adjacent ones of the cavities so that the resulting frozen articles are connected to each other by readily frangible sections. In one form of the invention a reservoir is provided for containing the liquid to be frozen as well as a plurality of conduit means that are used for filling a number of the pliable packages positioned within the mold means. The reservoir may include a float that cooperates with a water inlet supply valve so as to maintain the liquid in the reservoir at a predetermined level. The reservoir is elevated with respect to the pliable packages and the mold means so that the water fills the packages by gravity feed.
