ABSTRACT:
An ice shaver for a beverage dispenser for charging solid granular ice into cups and shaving granular ice and charging it into cups. An ice charging port opening arranged to expose the part of one end surface of the impeller in the direction of the impeller central axis including the spindle allows granular ice to be charged into the ice shaver body while being agitated by the impeller ameliorate clogging of the bottom end side of the introduction pipe. Also, because the impeller is rotated at a low speed in discharging granular ice, the discharge speed of the ice is reduced, reducing scattering of beverage already in the cup. Furthermore, when an overload occurs in a motor due to the impeller locking caused by clogging with granular ice, driving of the impeller is stopped. Therefore, the motor and a motor drive section are protected from damage due to over current and heating.
