Closing member 26 and the channel 34 in the correct position in order to then guide ejected pieces of ice through the opening 17 into the passage 20. The pieces of ice are emptied into the glass until the pressure on the button 40 subsides. In order to prevent pieces of ice ejected shortly before through the opening 17 after the pressure on the button 40 has been released from being jammed between the closure member 26 and the cuff 27, it is best to provide a time delay device which keeps the closure open a few seconds after the rod 39 has returned to its forward position. Any suitable device can be selected for this purpose. The apparatus shown, generally indicated by the numeral 50, comprises \ $ a damping device which is mounted inside the door 3 swingable. The damping device is connected to the locking member 26 by a rod 52 and is arranged in such a way that the locking member is pressed into an open position and thereby the movement of the locking member 26 caused by the spring 33 into its closed position is delayed. In order to prevent any pieces of ice that miss the channel 34 from holding the closure member 26 open, the lower edge of the closure member 26 is designed in such a way that, in the open position, it is at a sufficient distance from the door panel 22 so that such ice pieces can be removed fall through the gap.

The output point represented by the recess 8 can also be a device for the output of Include water. It contains a cooling tank 55, which is mounted in the freezer compartment and by means of a solenoid tube 56 is in communication with a water storage tank. The water from the tank 55 is via a line 57 in the upper part of the recess 8 ends, led into door 3. The tube 56 is controlled by means of a switch 59, which is controlled by a Push button 60 is operated in the same way as push button 40 is operated.

Additional parts that provide easy handling of the ice dispenser include a heater 62, which adjoins the entrance 21 of the passage and the cuff 27 and which this point above the Keeps freezing point, so that any liquid that collects here or in the passage 20, liquid remains. A drop collector or passage, which forms the bottom of the recess 8, is provided by a heater 64 pickled and is used to absorb splashed water or the after-run and to evaporate.

Claims (4)

ι 2 the door of the freezer compartment must be opened. Every opening of the door has the ingress of moist air into the closet and a loss of cooled air from the 1. Fridge with a freezer and a cupboard entail. In order to avoid the resulting damage front opening of this freezer compartment to avoid additional loading of the cooling system closing door, an ice dispenser in and in the interest of increased convenience for the freezer compartment with a discharge opening which it would be desirable for the user to have a way in front of the Door adjoins, whereby one can see through the door, the stored pieces of ice outside the cooling duct goes through, the entrance of which appears on the in-room. inner surface of the door below the ejection opening io For this purpose, we have already found and a closure member, which on hit ice dispensers of this type, the pieces of ice is attached to the inner surface of the door and the entrance through a pre-entrance in a solid wall of the refrigerator compartment normally closed, opening seen through it. Such an arrangement characterized that by means of one of is not suitable for the housing modemer 15 refrigerators to be operated outside the cold room, in which the door or doors are in the normal direction the closure member (26) behind the lining up the front edges of the housing overlap opening (17) movable and the ice dispensing curtains and thereby the entire front view of the direction (14) can be switched on and can be seen on the housing. end member (26) a channel (34) for transport. of the pieces of ice from the discharge opening (17) in the manner described above, a fixed output point is to be provided. Passage (20) is provided, which can be seen in the, one has already the door of such a cooling Passage (20) extends into it when the cabinet is attached to the discharge opening of an inside the final member (26) its open position e assumes . The ice dispenser attached to the refrigerator 2. Refrigerator according to claim 1, characterized in that a passage through the door indicates that the device for actuating 35 passes, the entrance of which is on the inner surface of the closure member (26) and the ice dispensing front door is located below the discharge opening and direction (14) by a for receiving ice, a closure part is provided which on the pieces from the passage (20) into the recess inside the door is attached and the entrance (8) insertable container can be actuated. normally locks. 3. Refrigerator according to claim 1 or 2, there- 30 This known device, however, has a characterized in that the actuation front has a number of disadvantages. As special direction one with an external pressure - the fact that it is serious proves to be button (40) and through the door (3) in this construction it is possible that warm, moist has passed through push rod (39), which can penetrate via air into the passage in the door, a drive device (43) with the closure 35 rises upwards and cools on the closure flap member (26) for its actuation in connection and ice deposits generated. Furthermore are at stands. no funds are provided for this well-known refrigerator 4. Refrigerator according to claims 1 to 3, hen, the actuation of the closure part from the outside characterized in that the actuating vents and the ice dispenser permit. Much more In the direction of a delay mechanism, the locking part is opened from the inside via a cable pull has, which is actuated by a motor after switching off the ice dispenser. This often occurs direction (14) the closing of the closure member malfunctions. (26) for the passage (20) in the door (3) It is therefore an object of the present invention to gert. in the case of a refrigerator as described above 45 way of preventing condensation in the passage area and a loss of cooled air from the freezer avoid making the ice dispenser simpler and more reliable, and the closure part and the ice dispenser easy to operate from the outside. The present invention relates to a refrigerator, this object is achieved according to the invention the cabinet with a freezer compartment and a front by that by means of a door that closes this freezer compartment from outside the refrigerator opening, the closure part of an ice dispenser in the freezer compartment, with behind the discharge opening movable and the Eisabgaeiner ejection opening, which adjoins the door, whereby the device can be switched on and a passage passes through the door at the lock, the part of which is a chute for transporting the pieces of ice from the inside of the door below the ejection opening the passage is provided, the discharge opening is located and a closure member extends into the passage when the valve is attached to the inner surface of the door and the terminal part is in its open position,
normally locks the entrance. 60 A refrigerator labeled in this way Many modern household refrigerators have significant advantages over the previously known automatic systems for making ice cream and men, which once consist of a container for receiving and storing it, so that the loss of cooled air largely results in a supply of ice pieces below the freezer. be avoided and therefore no additional stress temperature. With all commercially available cooling systems, the cooling system occurs. Due to the training onei that have this feature, the chute must not be connected to the closure part and respect the amount of ice pieces required at one time, direct actuation of the closure part continues to be the functional reliability of such a device that the user wants to remove from the container we-
