Abstract: An apparatus for transferring glasses from rack to rack, which comprises a fixed section; a pair of vertical braces disposed to the fixed section to oppose each other with a predetermined distance therebetween; a rotary section supported by the vertical braces so as to be able to rotate horizontally; and a first motor disposed in the fixed section for turning the rotary section at least by 180.degree.

Abstract: A freezing unit has one or more vertically arranged freezing plates having a plurality of rib-like partitions extending in the downflow direction of the ice-making water, and a meandering cooling coil contacted with the reverse side or sides of said freezing plate or plates and composed of a plurality of straight sections connected together by bends. The straight sections are flattened on lateral side portions, while at least the terminal portions of the bends contiguous to the straight sections are flattened on lateral side portions to a thickness approximately equal to the thickness of the flattened lateral side portions of the straight sections. The flattened lateral side portions of both the straight sections and the bends are contacted with the back side or sides of the freezing plate or plates.

Abstract: An ice product making machine or apparatus has a pair of freezing plates arranged vertically and in a facing relation to each other. These freezing plates are provided with a plurality of rib-like partitions extending in the downflow direction of the ice making water, flat freezing sections defined between the adjoining partitions of the freezing plates, a cooling coil mounted in direct mechanical contact with the back sides of the respective freezing plates, and a flushing water feed pipe mounted to an upper portion of the freezing plates. These partitions are arranged in a staggered relation to one another so that the partitions and freezing sections of the one freezing plate are confronted by the freezing sections and partitions of the other freezing plate, respectively.
