ABSTRACT:
An ice cube dispenser for compressed ice flakes includes an ice cube source and an ice storage bin disposed adjacent the ice cube source. The ice storage bin has an arcuate bottom surface and at least two sides thereof. The arcuate contours are provided where the at least two sides join the arcuate bottom surface. An agitator is disposed within the ice storage bin wherein the agitator comprises a first ice agitator arm rotating on a shaft. The first ice agitator arm defines a radius when the shaft is rotated. The radius corresponds to a radius of the arcuate bottom surface and one of the arcuate contours of the ice storage bin. The first agitator arm has a shape which corresponds to a shape of the one of the arcuate contours between one of the at least two sides and the arcuate bottom surface.
