Abstract: A machine for the production and distribution of ice particles, having a frame comprising a refrigerator group evaporator and forming means for forming the ice particles, the machine further having a distributing device for distributing the ice particles and comprising a closed housing for storing the ice particles, wherein the distributing device is located outside of the frame.

Abstract: An automatic device for producing ice cubes has separate probes for measuring the temperature of the environment, and, for measuring the temperature of water supplied to an input of the device, the probes being connected to a monitoring device operative to calculate the optimum operation of the device under any particular climatic conditions.

Abstract: This invention relates to a device for the delivery of a fluid to be frozen in equipment for the formation of ice cubes, which includes a rod spraying the fluid on an evaporator and drive means for rotating the rod which are activated by the same fluid to be frozen.

Abstract: An ice cube making machine comprising a plurality of inverted ice forming cups disposed above a water spraying mechanism characterized as having at least two semispherical enclosures to which water is supplied by a pump and is therein caused to circulate in a circular fashion to produce the desired water spray, and also comprising an improved arrangement for ensuring the detachment of the cubes during the "harvest" portion of the cycle.

Abstract: A portable ice cube making machine comprising a plurality of inverted ice forming cups disposed above a water spraying mechanism. The water source for the machine consists of a water reservoir consisting of first and second chambers, the first of which is provided with a pump for transferring water therefrom to the spray mechanism, with the first chamber being supplied with water from the second chamber which is substantially larger than the first chamber so as to contain sufficient water for several ice producing cycles and obviate the need for the machine to be connected to a conventional source of water via conventional plumbing. The spray mechanism is in the form of at least two semi-spherical enclosures to which water is supplied by the pump and is therein caused to circulate in a circular fashion to produce the desired water spray.
