ABSTRACT:
In an ice making plate where a plurality of ice making regions are formed in the vertical direction, a projecting portion having a lateral width B smaller than a lateral width A of the ice making regions is formed between adjacent ice making regions. At least one non-projecting portion or area is defined at least one side of the projecting portion and located between adjacent ice making regions. Most of the ice growth is restricted by an upper surface portion and a lower surface portion of the projecting portion, and the ice is thereby partially prevented from connecting to the ice formed in the adjacent ice making region. However, a part of the ice grows in the at least one non-projecting portion or area, and partially connected ice is formed by the connection of the ice formed in the non-projecting portion or area to the ice grown in the adjacent ice making region. The partially connected ice is dropped as an integrated whole from the ice making plate.
