ICE GUIDE FOR ICE MAKER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable scatteredly housing of ice supplied from an ice making mechanism part into an ice storage by arranging a plurality of linear grooves to be diffused in the direction of ice drops on the surface between a part for receiving the ice and a part for making it drop in an ice guide which receives ice to let it drop into the ice storage therebelow. SOLUTION: During the ice making operation, water for making ice supplied into individual cells S is frozen sequentially by an ice making device 11 cooled by a cooler 12. When specified ice cubes are formed, the cooler 12 is supplied with a hot gas to melt freezing between the ice making device 11 and the ice cubes. Then, a water plate 13 tilts downward to let the ice cubes C in the individual cells S drop to be received by an ice guide 20 and the ice cubes are dispersed about to be stored scatteredly into a ice storage B. In this process, several linear grooves 23a are so arranged in the ice guide 20 to be diffused in the direction of ice cubes drop on the surface between a part for receiving ice cubes C and a part for making them drop them after slipping off. This enables the ice cubes C to drop scatteredly into the ice storage B effectively.
