Abstract

PURPOSE:To restrain propagation of various germs in an ice shute guiding ice which is discharged from an ice maker, and prevent the ice from being contaminated due to adherence of the germs to the ice passing through the ice shute by employing resin containing an inorganic germicide for the ice shute. CONSTITUTION:Ice in an ice reservoir 11 provided on an ice maker 8 is discharged from an outlet 12 through an ice shute 14 to a cup 7 before adding any beverage to the cup. The ice shute 14 is under such undesirable condition that various germs may propagate due to water drops attached to the inner surface of the ice shute 14, frozen dew flowed out of the outlet 12 and temperature in the reservoir. For this reason, the ice shute 14 is formed of resin containing an inorganic germicide which comprises synthetic zeolite combined with Ag ion, so that the ice can be prevented from being contaminated due to propagation of various germs, resulting in supply of clean ice for beverages.

Ice in a water storage chamber 11 provided at the top of the ice maker 8 is discharged from a discharge port 12, passes through an ice chute 14, and enters a cup 7 to become an ice-containing beverage. At this time, water droplets adhering to the inside of the ice chute 14 and dew condensation from the discharge port 12 cause the inside of the ice chute 14 to become a breeding condition for germs as well as the internal temperature. However, since the ice chute 14 is molded with resin mixed with an inorganic antibacterial agent that combines silver ions with synthetic zeolite, it not only suppresses the growth of bacteria (but also has a bactericidal effect,
We can provide sanitary ice.
