DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The conventional ice scraper comprises a scraped ice cup installed in the base so as to receive the scraped ice, and an ice maker for making an ice block in a freezer of a refrigerator. Since it is a separate part, there is a disadvantage that two types of ice cube cup and ice maker are required and the cost is high, and the ice lump made by the ice maker has a smooth surface in contact with the ice lump presser, It is necessary to prevent the ice blocks from idling by providing the press platen with the ice block biting protrusions. For this reason, the ice block pressing plate having the ice block biting protrusions must be made of metal, which causes a problem that the cost becomes high.

The present invention has been devised to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and the purpose thereof is that the scraped ice cup can also be used as an ice maker, and the ice block made by the cup can be unevenly engaged with the ice block pressing plate. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an inexpensive ice scraper that has a simple structure and can be reliably rotated by operating the handle.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the ice scraper of the present invention is a stand 1 having an opening 2 for inserting and removing a cup on the front surface and a body mounting port 3 on the upper surface. And a slit-shaped scraping ice drop port 6 extending in the radial direction on the bottom wall portion and an ice scraping blade 7 fixed so as to project the blade edge along the slit of the drop port. 3 has an upper-end opening body 5 that is fixed so as not to rotate, a lid body 8 that is detachably fitted and locked to the upper-end opening portion of the body 5, and a handle portion 9 that is manually operated. A handle rotating shaft 10 that is vertically and rotatably fitted in a central opening 8a of the lid body 8, and is fixed to a lower end portion of the handle rotating shaft 10 and is pushed down while rotating by a handle operation in the device body 5. The ice block pusher 11 and the equipment stand 1 are installed so as to receive the shaved ice. Scrap ice cup 12 also serving as an ice maker. A ridge 12a for forming an ice lump groove is provided at the center of the inner bottom of the ice blast cup 12, and the cup is provided at the center of the lower surface of the ice lump pusher 11. The present invention is characterized in that an ice block rotating projection 11a engageable with an ice block groove 13a formed by the projection 12a is provided.

[0006]

The above-mentioned shaved ice cup 12 can also be used as an ice-making device for putting water in a freezer of a refrigerator to freeze water. After the ice is formed, the cup 12 can be taken out of the refrigerator and the ice inside can be taken out from the cup. In this case, it is possible to obtain the ice block 13 as shown in FIG. 3 having the concave groove 13a formed by the protrusion 12a.

Then, the ice block 13 is put into the container body 5 through the detaching opening of the lid body 8, and the lid body 8 is inserted into the ice block groove 13.
a and the pusher plate ridge 12a are positioned so as to engage with each other in a concavo-convex manner, and are fitted and locked in the opening of the device body 5 as shown in FIG. It is possible to reliably rotate 13.

When the ice block 13 is driven to rotate in one direction by the rotation of the pusher 11, the ice block 13 is scraped by the ice scraping blade 7 to make scraped ice, and the scraped ice falls into a slit-shaped scraped ice. Skim ice cup 12 dropped from the mouth 6 and placed under it
Will be accepted by.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a synthetic resin base having an opening 2 for inserting and removing a cup on the front surface and a body mounting opening 3 on the upper surface. A container body 5 made of synthetic resin and having a bottomed cylindrical shape with an open upper end is fitted in a ridge so as not to rotate and is detachably fitted and fixed.

The bottom wall of the body 5 has a slit-shaped scraped ice drop opening 6 extending in the radial direction from the center, and the blade body 7a projects along the slit of the scraped ice drop opening 6. The mounting body 4 is provided with an ice scraping blade 7 fixed by a screw 4a in an inclined state as shown in FIG. 4, and the blade body mounting body 4 is fitted to the lower projection 5a of the bottom wall of the body as shown in FIG. They are firmly bonded and fixed with an adhesive (not shown).

Reference numeral 8 denotes a lid made of synthetic resin which has a central opening 8a and which is detachably fitted and locked to the upper end opening of the body 5. The lid 8 has a container on the inner surface of the peripheral wall thereof. Figure 4 of the upper body opening
Further, a hook-shaped hooking groove (not shown) that is pivotally locked to the hooking protrusion 5b shown in FIG. 5 is provided.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a handle rotating shaft having a cruciform cross section which has a handle portion 9 which is manually operated by a rotary knob 9a and which is rotatably and vertically inserted into a central opening 8a of the lid body 8. On the lower end shaft portion 10a of the rotary shaft 10, a disk-shaped synthetic resin ice block pusher 11 is fitted and fixed so as to be pushed down while being rotated by a handle operation in the body 5.

Numeral 12 is a shaving ice cup also serving as an ice maker installed to receive the shavings in the device base 1. The shaving ice cup 12 is made of synthetic resin and protrudes at the center of the inner bottom thereof. A ridge 12a having a trapezoidal cross-section with a height of about 10 mm is integrally provided in the diametrical direction for forming the ice lump groove, and the cup ridge 12a is formed at the center of the lower surface of the ice lump presser 11. An ice lump rotating protrusion 11a having a trapezoidal cross-section that is engageable with the formed ice lump concave groove 13a is integrally provided so as to protrude in the diameter direction.

Then, water W is added to the cup 12 as shown in FIG.
The cup 12 is put in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator and frozen, and then the cup 12 is taken out of the refrigerator, and the ice inside is taken out from the cup.
An ice block 13 having a groove 13a as shown in FIG.
Can be easily obtained.

Then, the ice block 13 is put into the container body 5 through the detaching opening of the lid body 8, and the lid body 8 is inserted into the ice block groove 13.
a and the pusher plate ridge 12a are positioned so as to engage with each other in a concavo-convex manner, and are fitted and locked in the opening of the device body 5 as shown in FIG. It is possible to reliably rotate 13.

When the ice block 13 is driven to rotate in one direction by the rotation of the pusher 11, the ice block 13 is scraped by the ice scraping blade 7 to make scraped ice, and the scraped ice falls into a slit-like scraped ice. Skim ice cup 12 dropped from the mouth 6 and placed under it
Will be accepted by.

[0018]

Since the ice scraper of the present invention has the construction described in the scope of claims for utility model registration, the scraping ice cup 12 can also be used as an ice maker, and the cup 12 can also be used.
It is possible to provide an ice scraper having a simple structure and a lower cost than the conventional one, which has an effect that the ice block 13 made in step 3 can be engaged with the ice block pusher plate 11 in a concavo-convex manner so as to be reliably rotated and driven by the handle operation. it can.
