Abstract

"APARELHO DE DISTRIBUIçãO DE GELO E DETECçãO". A presente invenção refere-se a um aparelho de distribuição de gelo que possui um compartimento depósito de gelo montado de maneira removível no refrigerador para receber e armazenar peças de gelo de um fazedor de gelo, um dispositivo contador para separação de peças de gelo isoladas, e um dispositivo sensor para detectar a presença de peças de gelo. O acionamento de um motor ocasiona ao dispositivo contador separar peças de gelo isoladas e o dispositivo sensor detecta peças de gelo antes, depois, ou durante a distribuição.
