ABSTRACT:
A movable ice receptacle for use in a refrigeration apparatus having a refrigerated cabinet defining a space within which the receptacle is normally disposed. The refrigerated space is selectively closed by a door provided with an ice access opening selectively closed by a movable closure. The receptacle is mounted for selective disposition in a rearward ice storage position and a forward ice access position at the opening. The mounting of the receptacle is such that, when the closure is moved to an open position, the receptacle is correspondingly repositioned forwardly from the storage position to the access position. The receptacle is gravity biased toward the forward ice access position, and is urged against this bias by structure associated both with the closure and the receptacle to move the receptacle to the rearward storage position as an incident of the closure being disposed in a closed position. Movement limiting structure is provided for limiting the forward movement of the receptacle to an intermediate position intermediate the ice storage and ice access positions when the main cabinet door is opened. Limited access to the space in the receptacle may be provided at the intermediate position.
