ABSTRACT:
An ice cube tray assembly for refrigerators, which prevents an undesirable separation of the ice cube tray from the tray case when the tray is rotated, is disclosed. The tray assembly of this invention has a tray case, which is slidably installed in a base of a freezer compartment of a refrigerator and has a bearing with a snap lip. An ice cube tray is rotatably mounted to the case by a hinge pin snapping into the bearing. A stopper is provided on the bearing for preventing an undesirable separation of the hinge pin from the bearing when the tray is rotated. The tray assembly is thus free from any locking device used for preventing separation of the tray so that the assembly has a simple construction, improves work efficiency while assembling the tray assembly, and improves the operational reliability of the refrigerators.
