  • Patent number: 12359860
    Abstract: An ice maker includes an ice maker housing, an ice mold, an ice chute, and an ice stop. The ice mold is mounted to the ice maker to receive a fluid from which an ice piece is formed when the ice maker is used. The ice chute is mounted below the ice mold to receive the ice piece when the ice piece is formed. The ice chute slopes downward from a first edge to a second edge. The ice stop is formed of a sheet of material mounted to extend in a vertical direction. The ice stop is mounted a distance from the second edge of the ice chute such that, when the ice piece exits from the second edge of the ice chute, the ice piece strikes the ice stop.
