    Abstract: An on-demand and efficient ice delivery unit is described. In an aspect, the unit is comprises a cabinet that further comprises an ice storage bin and an icemaker. The ice delivery unit provides a user with compressed chewable nuggets of ice. In an aspect, the unit comprises an icemaker that is ideally located below the ice storage bin. The location of the icemaker, which may also be remote, is designed to enable the ice storage bin to be of a larger capacity than ice delivery units currently known in the art. Additionally, the location of the icemaker reduces the overall size, particularly the height, of the unit in comparison to other ice distribution units known in the art.

    Abstract: The invention is related to a storage cabinet (12, 14) for at least one of refrigerated and frozen goods (22, 24) for sale through that the cabinet door opens via entering of a door opening code in a payment terminal (18) with scanning equipment (20) for reading of codes which identify said goods (22, 24). The goods which are purchased by lifting them out of the cabinet (12, 14) are scanned with the scanning equipment (20) and are debited to a purchasing account associated with the door opening code. The cabinet is locked when the cabinet door closes. Further the cabinet rests (12, 14) on a weighing device (30). If a predetermined difference between the scanned goods' (22, 24) weight and the cabinet's (12, 14) weight occurs, the weight difference is registered in a transaction data file associated with the door opening code, wherein loss of goods (22, 24) is registered on a known purchasing account.
