ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for dispensing ice bodies collected in a storage receptacle, including a manually operable knob and structure connected thereto for delivering ice bodies from the collecting bin to a transfer mechanism which, in turn, delivers the ice bodies one at a time through a discharge chute to a dispensing space. The apparatus is self-contained so as to permit removal thereof from the refrigeration apparatus for dispensing of the ice bodies by manual rotation of the knob at locations remote from the refrigeration apparatus, as well as in the installed arrangement within the refrigeration apparatus. Accurate dispensing of the ice bodies one at a time is effected without personal contact with the ice bodies. A guide is associated with the discharge structure for locating a receiver, such as a glass or pitcher, accurately to receive the transferred ice bodies. Gears are utilized to provide desired operation of a conveyor auger for transferring the ice bodies from the collecting bin to the transfer mechanism.
