ABSTRACT:
An ice maker is disclosed for freezing ice pieces and delivering the ice pieces to a receptacle under a chute. The ice machine is made up of an ice mold with an opening in its bottom which receives and ice extractor with an open bottom and upwardly and outwardly extending sides. An evaporator plate is supported below the opening in the ice mold bottom and a water supply is provided to maintain the water in the mold at a predetermined level. A thermo electro unit is disposed below the evaporator. Classical freon refrigeration can also be used. Thus when water is frozen to ice in the extractor, the refrigeration, or thermo-electric means melts the ice loose from the evaporator, in some models, and also from the ice extractor. The ice extractor, which is attached to a motor by means of an arm, swings to an inverted position over an ice chute from which the ice falls, is in some models aided by ambient heat, into a repository. The extractor then swings back into the mold for another cycle.
