ABSTRACT:
An ice storage bin for the storage and delivery of fragmentary ice for use in an enclosed area. The ice storage bin has at least one ice rake assembly having an arm which pivots about a lower corner of the bin and supports rakes that serve to move the fragmentary ice contained in the bin toward a screw for discharge from the bin. A rake drive shaft provides the pivot axis about which the rake arm rotates. The rake arm contacts the ice in storage by the action of gravity so that the rakes dig into the ice. An additional rake arm assembly can be disposed on the opposite side of the bin or parallel to the first rake arm assembly to increase the capacity of the bin. The bin is formed from beams which can be premanufactured and readily placed in a standard storage container. Apparatus are provided for raising the ice rake arm from the surface of the ice to a vertical position during the filling of the ice bin.
