  • Patent number: 10309706
    Abstract: A cooling or freezing device includes an ice-making tray having a plurality of ice-piece-producing cavities distributed over at least two rows of cavities running parallel to one another. The device further includes a cold air supply system which provides a cold air stream which flows beneath the ice-making tray along the rows of cavities. There is additionally provided a temperature sensor unit which is inserted into a gap formed on the underside of the tray between a pair of adjacent ice-piece-producing cavities. The pair of cavities is formed by two ice-piece-producing cavities which, as seen in the direction of flow of the cold air stream, are the last ice-piece-producing cavities of two adjacent rows of cavities.
