Embodiment Construction

[0021] Referring to the Figures shown, an ice cube maker or machine is shown and generally designated by the reference numeral 1 . The ice maker 1 comprises a vertical evaporator (not shown since it is covered by a corresponding horizontal pivotable wall or cover 3 ) arranged parallel to the front side of the ice maker 1 . Although this embodiment shows a vertical evaporator, this disclosure contemplates the use of other types and configurations of evaporators. The ice maker 1 also includes flow control means 5 which in this embodiment are spray means. The spraying device 5 supplies or sprays water to the evaporator to form ice. Water is supplied to the spraying device 5 by a circulation pump 7 which is in fluid communication with a storage tank or sump 9 and draws water therefrom. The pump 7 is in fluid communication with the spraying device 5 via a conduit 13 . The storage tank 9 is removably supported below the evaporator by means of a flat support wall, housing or eleme...

Abstract

An ice cube maker (1) having an evaporator in fluid communication with a flow control device (5) to supply water for making ice cubes is provided. The water is supplied by a pump (7) from a storage tank (9) supported by a support element (11) underneath the evaporator. The storage tank is removably connected to the support element and / or a casing of the ice cube maker.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application has claimed priority from Italian Application No. MI2003A 000465 filed March 12, 2003, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention generally relates to an ice maker or an ice cube maker, and more particularly relates to an ice maker with a detachable water tank. Background technique [0004] Ice makers, and more particularly ice makers with vertical evaporators, are known. These ice makers have an internal storage tank (storage tank) placed below an evaporator containing water to be converted to ice. Water may be withdrawn by a delivery pump and sent to a flow control device which in turn distributes the water over the surface of the evaporator to form ice cubes. [0005] In such ice machines, the storage tank for the water to be converted to ice is permanently attached to the frame as a single integral part of the frame and is inaccessi...
