Embodiment Construction

[0029] according to figure 1 The refrigerator 1 has an insulated storage cabinet 2 divided by a partition wall 3 into a refrigerated compartment 4 shown on the right in the figure and a freezer compartment 5 shown on the left in the figure. The refrigerated compartment 4 can be closed by a first door 6 and the freezer compartment 5 can be closed by a second door 7 . The second door 7 of the freezer compartment 5 has a dispensing unit 8 for optionally dispensing ice cubes or crushed ice. The ice cubes are produced in an ice maker 9 which is arranged on the top side within the freezer compartment 5 and the finished ice cubes are ejected on the bottom side of the ice maker 9 . Ice cubes are dropped into the container 10 from above for intermediate storage. At the lower opening 11 on the front side of the container 10 , ice cubes can be conveyed out of the container if desired and drop outwards to the front side of the second door 7 via an output chute provided on the inside of ...

Abstract

The invention relates to an ice dispenser for dispensing ice cubes or comminuted ice flakes, comprising a housing (36), an inlet opening of the introduction of the uncomminuted ice cubes into the housing (36), an outlet opening for the dispensing of the optionally uncomminuted ice cubes or the comminuted ice flakes from the housing (36), an ice comminuting device (30), comprising a driven shaft (28), mounted on which are a blade arrangement (31, 32) rotating with the shaft (28) and a counter blade arrangement (33) which optionally either rotates with the shaft (28) or is fixed with relation to the housing (36) depending ion the position of a locking means (35). According to the invention, the risk of output of an inadequately comminuted ice cubes during a comminuting operation of the ice dispenser can be reduced, wherein at least one counter blade (34a, 34b) of the counter blade arrangement (33) has a catch (42) for engaging with a counter catch (40) of the locking device (35). An undesired release of the counter blade (34a, 34b) for the locking means (35) is thus prevented.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an ice dispenser for dispensing ice cubes or crushed ice, having a housing, an input opening for introducing ice cubes into the housing, for optionally dispensing uncrushed ice cubes from the housing An output opening for ice cubes or crushed ice cubes and an ice crushing device having a rotatable shaft on which a blade arrangement rotating with the shaft and a mating blade arrangement are supported, depending on the position of the locking device , the mating blade arrangement is optionally operable to rotate with the shaft or to be fixed relative to the housing. Background technique [0002] A dispensing and crushing device for small pieces of ice is known from DE4013825A1. In this invention, three segments pivotable about one axis are provided with a common support and provided with a smooth surface resembling a part of a cylinder. These segments can be inserted by means of a solenoid drive through the side distribution no...
