Patent number: 8376184Abstract: A device for removing condensation from an ice duct of an ice dispenser for a refrigerator. The device may include a flap, which is arranged to seal an output opening of the ice dispenser and a controller for the flap, which is designed to move the flap between a closed position, in which the inner side of the flap contacts the edge of the outlet opening and a dispensing position in which the flap is withdrawn from the edge of the outlet opening to permit the dispensing of ice cubes. Further, the controller is designed to open the flap after expiry of a first time period, during which the flap is not moved by the action of a user or by the controller and to close the flap after expiry of a second time period.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2008Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeraete GmbHInventors: Martin Buchstab, Jürgen Diebold, Irene Dumkow, Klaus Flinner, Markus Hanichl, Bernd Heger, Peter Nalbach, Günter Raubold, Gerald Schmidt, Martin Schweyer
