Title:
WATER VESSEL TILTING MECHANISM FOR STORAGE SYSTEM ICE MAKING MACHINE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH1151524
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure proper positioning of a water vessel to assume a horizontal posture at all times. SOLUTION: A water vessel 10 and an actuating member 14 are pivotably supported in a tiltable manner by a rotary support shaft 13 provided to a support part 12. A metal abutment fitting which abuts against an upper edge of the water vessel 10 is mounted to the actuating member 14. The actuating member 14 and the water vessel 10 are held in a parallel state that the metal abutment fitting is allowed to abut against the upper edge of the water vessel 10 by a coiled spring 24. By rotating a rotary member 20 engaging with an engaging groove 14d of the actuating member 14 via a support roller 22, the water vessel 10 is tilted unitarily with the actuating member 14 from its horizontal posture to a tilted bottom dead center, and from the tilted bottom dead center to its horizontal posture. A rotary top dead center of the rotary locus of the support roller 22 is set higher than a position where the water vessel 10 in an abutting state of the metal abutment fitting of the actuating member 14 assumes the horizontal posture under the engaging operation of the support roller 22 with the engaging groove 14d.
