Title:
ICE MAKING AND SUPPLYING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH05146333
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

PURPOSE: To provide a quick and easy supplying of drink with ice by a method wherein ice made by an ice maker IM in a kitchen unit is carried up to an upper part of the kitchen unit by a transfer means and fed out of an ice supplying part in the vicinity of a water supply stopper.

CONSTITUTION: When a prescribed amount of ice is discharged from an ice maker IM into an ice reservoir 37, a motor 28 starts to rotate. By this rotation, a connection rod 33 is made to rotate. Further, an arm 32 is made to rotate by the rotation of the connection rod 33, so that an ice reservoir 37 is pushed up along a rail 36. When the ice reservoir 37 comes to a point that an upper end of a rear plate 39 gets into contact with a rear end of an ice chute 26 which is located behind a rotary shaft 42, the ice reservoir 37 itself is then pushed down against repulsive force of a spring 41, and at the same time the ice chute 26 is rotated against repulsive force of another spring 43. In succession, the rear plate 39 is pushed down to its lower end with its upper end lowered to a bottom surface 38, and at the same time, a tip end of the ice chute 26 is tilted down toward a sink 6, so that the ice put into the ice reservoir 31 goes out of the ice reservoir 37 to be discharged through the ice chute.
