摘要： An ice crusher is attached to an ice dispenser or to a combined ice and beverage dispenser. The ice crusher occupies minimal space in order to fit the dispenser into an existing space on a serving counter or in a beverage dispensing area. The ice crusher may also elevate the ice. In embodiments using this technique, the outlet of the ice from the ice crusher is higher than the ice inlet. As the ice flows from a source of ice, such as an ice bin, the ice is elevated while it is being crushed. The ice then flows from the outlet of the ice crusher down an ice chute or other outlet of the ice crusher, into a cup or container as desired. Other embodiments convey the ice without lifting it, and still other embodiments dispense either crushed or cubed ice, as the consumer may select. In one embodiment the selected crushed ice or cubed ice are both dispensed though the same ice dispensing chute. A retrofit kit may be used to add an ice crusher to an existing ice dispenser, or to an existing combined ice and beverage dispenser.
摘要翻译： 冰粉碎机连接到冰分配器或组合的冰饮料分配器上。 冰粉碎机占用最小的空间，以便将分配器装配到服务柜台或饮料分配区域中的现有空间中。 冰粉碎机也可以升高冰块。 在使用这种技术的实施例中，来自冰破碎机的冰的出口高于冰入口。 当冰从诸如冰箱的冰源流动时，冰被压碎时升高。 然后冰从冰锤的出口沿着冰块的冰槽或其它出口流出，按需要进入杯子或容器。 其他实施例传送冰而不提升冰，而其他实施例也可以分配粉碎或立方冰，如消费者可以选择的那样。 在一个实施例中，所选择的碎冰或立方冰都通过相同的冰分配滑槽分配。 可以使用改装套件将冰破碎机添加到现有的冰分配器中，或者与现有的组合冰和饮料分配器相加。

摘要： A system for transporting ice pieces or the like from a primary bin to one or more satellite bins is disclosed. A dispenser forms a charge of ice pieces in a precharge chamber, which is then transferred by air assist to a delivery tube. A driver member is provided to engage and move the substantially defined charge of ice pieces to the selected satellite bin. The driver member is propelled by a differential pressure within the tube. This permits the defined charge to be exposed only to the low pressure side and insulated from the high pressure propelling medium to minimize breakage and melting during delivery. Before reaching the satellite bin, the piston is reversed to shuttle back to the home position. The satellite bins are connected in series and delivery of a charge to an intermediate bin is provided by moving a tube section out of alignment with the delivery tube. Lubrication and continuous cleaning is performed by the driver member sweeping minimal residual water from melting ice. A full, two phase cleaning cycle is also provided by injecting cleaning fluid/rinse water into the tube for delivery by the piston. Single or dual fans are used to provide the differential pressure. A controller coordinates the system operation and allows monitoring and adjustment of all parameters.

摘要： A multiflavor beverage dispensing nozzle includes at least one water inlet; at least two syrup inlets; a main water flow path through the nozzle; and at least two syrup flow paths through the nozzle, one in fluid communication with each syrup inlet, each terminating in a syrup discharge port. In one aspect the water flow path is shaped to cause the water to discharge from the nozzle in a sheet form, preferably in an annular shape, and the syrup discharge ports include a syrup deflector shaped to cause the syrup to fan out as it exits the discharge port so that it impinges on the sheet of water. In another aspect the nozzle includes at least two secondary water flow paths that each divert water from the main flow path and discharge the diverted water through the at least two syrup discharge ports. A beverage dispenser utilizes a plurality of the multiflavor beverage dispensing nozzles incorporating one or both of the forgoing aspects. Optionally the dispenser also includes one or more dispensing nozzles for dispensing a favor additive, and may be equipped to dispense ice and even have an ice crusher so that it can dispense crushed or cubed ice.

摘要： This invention relates to an apparatus and method for the volumetric measuring and dispensing of ice from a holding bin. The ice is desirably in a crushed or cubed state and is agitated during storage to prevent its freezing into a solid block. When a volume of ice is desired, a user activates the machine to dispense the desired amount. As the ice is dispensed, it rotates a wheel that provides a volumetric measurement and closes a door to the holding bin when the proper amount is dispensed.

摘要： A pivoted ice dispensing chute is pushed rearward to lift a door lock, lift a door and contact a microswitch for starting an ice dispensing mechanism. Release of the chute allows the chute to swing forward, opening the microswitch and stopping the ice dispensing mechanism, and allowing the door to drop downward and the lock to drop downward below the door. In its downward position, the door is adjacent the back of the chute to prevent lifting of the door and unwanted movement of ice through the chute. The chute is generally rectangular in planform, with a sloping back, sides and a rounded front. The top of the chute and the bottom of the chute are open. The back of the chute has a rib with a lateral extension which operates the microswitch. The rib lifts the door lock and lifts the door. A push plate bracket is relocatable on the chute to rest on the front of the chute for pushing with a hand and to be positioned beneath a lower end of the back of the chute to be pushed with a cup or with a hand that holds a cup. The chute, the door, the lock and the microswitch are mounted on two brackets which are mounted on a face of an ice dispenser near an ice dispensing opening. The chute is supported on pins at the distal ends of the bracket, which extend through sides of the chute near the front.

摘要： Ice is stored for dispensing in a semicylindrical bin. A cone-shaped wire auger is mounted on radial extensions from a sloped axle near the bottom of the bin. A large flyte of the auger pushes ice from the rear of the bin toward smaller flytes near the front of the bin. Distal ends of generally radially extending fingers sweep an opening in the front of a bottom wall. Interchangeable plates with varied size openings control dispensing rate from the bin. The large flyte pushes the ice toward the front where some of the ice drops through the dispensing opening and some of the ice is recirculated upward. Ice clusters near the dispensing opening are broken by the fingers which extend generally radially and slightly rearwardly from the axle on which the conical auger wire is mounted.
