  • the bottle can be filled and emptied via an opening.
  • United States Patent Application US 2011/259037 A1 discloses an ice maker in which ice cubes are expelled from the cells of a tray by blades that are disposed on a rotatable shaft, wherein a linear movement of a crank is transformed by gear into a rotation of the shaft. The crank in turn is driven by a motor.
  • United States Patent Application US 2 957 604 discloses an ice cube dispenser featuring a rotatable shaft on which eccentric discs are arranged that can press ice cubes out of the cells of a tray.
  • the shaft is rotated via a gear and a rotatable operating shaft.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of an ice serving unit that provides the formation of ice cubes by being disposed in the cooling device and when desired, that enables the ice cubes to be served easily without the need of external service elements by being taken out of the cooling device.
  • the ice serving unit suitable to be disposed into the cooling device comprises an ice cube tray having more than one cell, a cover, an opening arranged on the cover and an actuation mechanism that enables the formed ice cubes to be supplied in the desired number.
  • the ice serving unit furthermore comprises a body having a first position, whereat adding water and ice forming operations are performed by placing the body parallel to the cooling device shelf and a second position to which the body is changed by being rotated almost ninety degrees from the first position, whereat ice cube serving operation is performed.
  • the ice cube tray is mounted to the body leak-proofingly.
  • the actuation mechanism is prevented from contacting water while water is added into the ice serving unit.
  • the actuation mechanism is activated by means of a latch situated on the body.
  • the actuation mechanism comprises a catch that moves together with the latch and a motion transmitter that the catch contacts as the latch is pressed on.

  • the actuation mechanism comprises a shaft whereon a motion transmitter is disposed and pushers that are positioned so as to be aligned with the rear side of the cells.
  • the motion transmitter when rotated by means of the catch, also rotates the shaft whereon it is situated.
  • the pushers since also situated on the shaft, rotate together with the shaft.
  • the pushers positioned behind the cells contact the cells, the ice cubes inside the cells are provided to be separated from the ice cube tray.
  • roll shaped protrusions are situated on the pushers.
  • the pusher contacts the cell by means of the protrusion and the ice cubes are provided to be transferred out of the ice serving unit.
  • the protrusions are positioned so as to be at different angles. Each protrusion contacts the cells at different levels in the vertical plane at each rotation of the shaft. One protrusion is enabled to contact a cell with each movement of the actuation mechanism, thus ice cubes in the desired number are enabled to be transferred out of the ice serving unit.
  • the cover is transparent. Thus, whether or not the ice making process is completed can be observed.
  • ice cubes formed inside the ice serving unit can be served without the need of external service elements by taking the ice serving unit out of the cooling device, and this situation increases customer satisfaction.

  • the ice cube tray (4) is mounted to the body (2) in a waterproofing manner.
  • the ice serving unit (1) comprises a latch (8) that is situated on the body (2) and that activates the actuation mechanism (7) when pressed thereon.
  • the user can separate the ice cubes from the ice cube tray (4) by pressing on the latch (8), thereby ease of utilization is provided.
  • the actuation mechanism (7) comprises a catch (9) disposed on the latch (8) and transmitting the movement applied on the latch (8) and a motion transmitter (10) that converts the linear movement received from the catch (9) into rotational movement.
  • One end of the catch (9), extending in the horizontal plane before the latch (8) is pressed on, is connected to the latch (8) and the other end thereof is free.
  • the free end of the catch (9), moving together with the latch (8) contacts the motion transmitter (10).
  • the linear movement applied on the latch (8) is converted into circular movement.
  • the actuation mechanism (7) comprises a shaft (11) disposed behind the ice cube tray (4) and extending along the ice cube tray (4) and more than one pusher (12) positioned on the shaft (11) so as to align with the rear side of the cells (3).
