    Abstract: A water-dispensing system of a household refrigerator has a valve and an inlet connected to a pressurized water supply source for controllably passing water through and from the refrigerator. A freezing tank is positioned in the water-dispensing system downstream of the valve and at a location wherein only a middle portion of the tank is subjected to below-freezing temperatures for forming ice therein. The freezing tank has movable walls for passing water over the ice in response to opening the valve. The water is thereby chilled by the ice prior to discharge from the water-dispensing system.

    Abstract: An ice dispenser comprising a receptacle for storing ice pieces and having a discharge opening in the front wall thereof contains a dispensing means that includes a rotatable feed section having the front end thereof positioned adjacent the discharge opening. The feed section comprises a collar containing a double-blade screw auger which forms with the inner surface of the collar two diametrically opposed helical passages for conveying ice pieces entering the rear end of the feed section to the discharge opening upon rotation of the feed section. The feed section is so designed that the passages are of a gradually increasing cross section from the inlet or rear ends thereof to the discharge or front ends thereof in order to prevent internal wedging of ice pieces which have entered the passages.

    Abstract: A refrigerator cabinet including a freezer compartment containing an icemaker, an ice storage receptacle and dispenser for storing and dispensing ice pieces made by the ice maker, a passage in the freezer door for delivering ice pieces from the dispenser to a service area on the outer surface of the door, and operating means including an actuating means on the outer surface of the door for energizing the dispenser. Preferably, means are provided for closing the passage when the dispenser is not energized and the receptacle and dispenser are removable as a unit from the cabinet. A door-operated switch prevents operation of the dispenser when the door is open.

    Abstract: 1,221,140. Feeding ice blocks. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. 11 Sept., 1968 [18 Sept., 1967], No. 43130/68. Heading B8A. Ice from a refrigerator falls into receptacle 4 and is discharged therefrom through opening 60 by means of conveyer 50, which comprises conveyer part 18 and conveyer part 61 which is mounted rigidly on the conveyer shaft and includes two passages 63, and scoop 70. The ice blocks are moved leftwards by conveyer part 18 so as to provide a surplus of blocks at the entry to conveyer part 61. Conveyer part 61 rotates as part of the conveyer so that scoop 70 entrains a block 72 which as the conveyer rotates moves up to position 72 1 and then slides forward into position 75 1 to be subsequently discharged at 60. A surplus of blocks thus passes through the conveyer portion 61 and is held up by wall 74 forming part of the conveyer. In this way the conveyer discharges a constant number of blocks per rotation from the blocks waiting at 74.
