ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to ice cutting machines, and specifically to the ice cutting machines for producing ice shavings for flavored confections such as snow cones and snowballs. The ice cutting machine of the present invention comprises an inner box and an outer box disposed in spaced relationship around the inner box. A plurality of continuous, parallel ice slides are provided on the interior of the bottom of the inner box, with each slide having an upwardly pointed tip. The slides are oriented perpendicularly to the cutting side of the inner box to provide a plurality of continuous surfaces upon which a block of ice is moved. A pusher plate within the ice cutting machine allows advancement of the block of ice towards a cutter. The bottom edge of the pusher plate has a plurality of bearings which fit in sliding relationship between adjacent slides to guide the pusher plate toward the cutter. The ice melts down into the grooves between adjacent ice slides to enhance stability of the ice, while minimizing the likelihood that ice will stick to the bottom of the ice cutting machine. Structure is provided to reduce vibrational movement of the block of ice, while it is being moved towards the cutter.
