ABSTRACT:
An ice body maker having a storage bin into which ice bodies are delivered from ice slab cutting structure. The ice bodies in the storage bin are illuminated from a lamp which utilizes the grid wires of the cutting structure as a diffusion structure for minimizing glare, facilitating observation of the ice bodies and removal thereof by the user. The lamp is located so as to direct the light therefrom primarily away from the access opening for further improved illumination of the ice bodies. The lamp is preselected to provide sufficient illumination to illuminate the ice bodies through an ice slab carried on the grid structure as during a slab cutting operation and utilizes the ice slab itself as a further light diffusion element. Still further diffusion of the light for improved uniformity on the ice bodies is effected by the reticulation of the ice slab effected by the grid wires in cutting through the slab during the slab cutting operation.
