Abstract:
PCT No. PCT/BE90/00040 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 21, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 21, 1992 PCT Filed Jul. 6, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO91/01472 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 7, 1991.The device contains a frame, a refrigeration mechanism with an evaporator, a mechanism to slightly defrost the ice formed around the protruding parts and to cause it to fall off, a water tank that is movably mounted on the frame, a water supply pipe which is located above the tank, a mechanism for moving the tank from an uppermost position around the above-mentioned protruding parts to a lowest position and vice versa, a mechanism for controlling the refrigeration mechanism and control the mechanism for moving the tank, and an upper grid that is hingedly mounted on the frame, is pushed up by the movement of the tank from its lowest to its uppermost position and protrudes before the uppermost position of the tank on the top in such a manner between the downward directed protruding parts of the evaporator that, when ice cubes are formed around these protruding parts already situated above all these ice cubes and cannot go down as long as all ice cubes have not fallen off, while the mechanism which controls the refrigeration mechanism and the mechanism for moving the tank have at least one switch which is controlled by the upper grid in such a manner that the mechanism to slightly defrost the ice formed around the protruding parts to cause the ice to fall off, are only switched off and the refrigeration mechanism only cools the protruding parts again when the upper grid is rotated downwards from its uppermost position.
