ABSTRACT:
An ice molding apparatus includes a first mold assembly which includes a first hollow chamber portion and which includes a spike assembly which projects inward from a wall of the first hollow chamber portion. The spike assembly includes a distal end adapted to support a quantity of solid material. The first mold assembly includes a first joint member adapted to connect to a second mold assembly. The second mold assembly includes a second hollow chamber portion which includes a filler channel adapted for passing a quantity of liquid water therethrough into the second hollow chamber portion and to fill up the first hollow chamber portion with water. The second mold assembly includes a second joint member adapted to connect to the first joint member, such that the first hollow chamber portion and the second hollow chamber portion form a combined interior mold chamber. The distal end of the spike assembly is located adjacent to a center portion of the combined interior mold chamber. The distal end of the spike assembly includes material-gripping ridges. A first stacking assembly, which includes stacking protuberances, is connected to the first mold assembly. A second stacking assembly, which includes wells complementary to the protuberances, is connected to the second mold assembly. The first and second assemblies are stacked in head-to-tail fashion.
