Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an ice maker for use in a refrigerator, in particular a household refrigerator. It further relates to a refrigeration device, in particular a household refrigerator, in which such an icemaker is used.

  • a cylindrical knob is brought out of the housing which a user can grasp to turn and twist the tray.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an ice maker, in which the demolding of the finished pieces of ice is facilitated.
  • the object is achieved by a mounted in an ice maker with at least about an axis twistable tray on the tray in the radial direction with respect to the axis projecting lever.
  • the lever does not unnecessarily take up space when not in use, it is preferably between a rest position and a projecting beyond the end face
  • Adjustable operating position wherein the distance of a handle portion of the lever from the axis in the operating position is greater than in the rest position.
  • the lever In the rest position, the lever is preferably not over a longitudinal wall of the
  • the adjustment movement may be a shift; preferably it is one
  • the lever When the tray is pivotally suspended in a frame about a first axis, in particular between a freezing position and a demolding position, the lever is preferably pivotable between the rest position and the actuating position about a second axis parallel to the first axis. This makes it possible to use the lever in a continuous movement both for pivoting the tray and for twisting.
  • the lever and the pivoting freedom of the tablet limiting stop are suitably arranged on opposite end faces of the tray to twist this effectively.
  • a second tray is further pivotable about the first axis, and the lever is disposed between the first and the second tray.

  • Outer walls of the tray which are 15% to 70%, preferably 30% to 40% higher than the intermediate walls, so projecting over the upper edges of the intermediate walls, can prevent spilling over when the tray is moved while his subjects contain liquid water ,
  • a portion of at least one of the outer walls projecting above the intermediate walls is preferably concavely curved on its inner side in order to deflect water which floats against the outer wall due to an acceleration acting on the tray in a continuous, substantially laminar movement and to avoid splashing.
  • such an icemaker is mounted on a door of the refrigerator and movable with the door.
  • This icemaker is easily accessible for filling and emptying, and with the door open, neither the icemaker obstructs access to the interior of the refrigerator, nor does a ceiling of the interior obstruct the filling of water into the tray.
  • the icemaker can be removably mounted in a body of the refrigeration device to allow access to parts of the interior located behind the icemaker or to be easily accessible for filling or for the removal of ice.
  • such a retractable ice maker can be integrated into a drawer of the refrigerator.
