ABSTRACT:
An ice dispenser assembly including an ice piece storage receptacle having an open top and including means for dispensing ice pieces contained therein. A stationary track member is provided on each side of the ice piece storage receptacle and each track member has a rearward horizontal portion, a forward downwardly curved portion, and a forward upwardly curved portion. Two pairs of spaced guide elements, each pair including a forward guide element and a rearward guide element are secured to the receptacle on each side thereof and slidable in each of the stationary track members to move the ice piece storage receptacle from a first position to a second position. The pairs of guide elements are located in their rearward horizontal portion of the track members when the ice piece storage receptacle is in its first position and the forward guide element of each pair of guide elements is in the downwardly curved portion and the rearward guide element of each pair is in the upwardly curved portion when the receptacle is in its second position. By this arrangement the ice piece storage receptacle may be tilted downwardly thus allowing bulk ice piece access through the top opening of the receptacle.
