ABSTRACT:
An ice maker dispenser structure wherein a removable chute is provided as a portion of a discharge duct leading from a discharge opening in a collecting bin for storing a plurality of discrete ice bodies to be dispensed. An agitator is disposed within the collecting bin adjacent the discharge opening and is operated to agitate the ice bodies adjacent the opening when a closure member is removed from the opening to effect the dispensing operation. An interlock is provided for preventing movement of the closure member away from the discharge opening in the event the chute is removed from the ice maker such as for servicing of the chute, thereby preventing injury to the user's fingers which may inadvertently be passed inwardly through the discharge opening into contact with the operating agitator.
