ABSTRACT:
A closure is shown for use with an ice dispensing apparatus having an ice chute defining a front opening. The closure includes a door case having a front wall of a size and shape corresponding to the chute opening, a rearwardly turned perimeter wall connected to the front wall and having an outwardly turned flange, and a pair of baffles extending rearwardly from opposite sides of the flange. An insulation core is disposed within the perimeter wall rearwardly of the front wall. A gasket engages the chute incident to the closure being in the closed position. A rear wall is provided for substantially covering the chute opening incident to the closure being in the closed position. The baffles are operable to direct flow of ice pieces delivered through the opening when the closure is in the open position.
