ABSTRACT:
An ice piece dispenser comprising a storage container having a longitudinally extending trough in its bottom wall with an ice dispensing closure means at the front end of the trough. A motor driven ram is positioned in the trough for combined reciprocating and oscillating travel wherein the ram has a stepped upper surface with a vertically extending ice piece agitating fin member formed integrally on one of the ram steps. The fin member is operative, in conjunction with the container's sloped front wall chute, to break-up ice piece clusters upon the forward thrust of the ram and whereby the ice pieces exert a downward gravitational force on inclined edges of the fin to maintain the ram in sliding contact with the trough base during its forward thrust.
