ABSTRACT:
An ice dispensing mechanism for use with an ice dispensing machine having an ice storage area and a transfer path for communicating ice from the storage area to the dispensing mechanism; the dispensing mechanism includes first and second enclosures which are arranged subjacent the ice storage area, the first enclosure being adapted to receive ice from the ice storage area, and the second ice enclosure being adapted to receive ice in metered quantities from the first enclosure and move from a position arranged generally vertically below the first enclosure to a second position disposed laterally therefrom wherein the ice within the second enclosure may drop downwardly under the influence of gravity into a suitable ice receptacle or the like. The first enclosure is provided with a resilient deformable wall which prevents ice being dispensed from damaging the mechanism as the second enclosure is transferred between its ice receiving position and its ice dispensing position, with the second enclosure also being provided with a resilient deformable wall which prevents ice being dispensed from damaging the second enclosure as it is moved to and from the aforesaid positions.
