Abstract

A presente invenção refere-se a um arranjo de detecção de gelo para detectar a quantidade de pedaços de gelo em um compartimento de gelo (8) de uma geladeira, refrigerador ou freezer. O arranjo compreende um compartimento de recepção e armazenagem de pedaços de gelo (8) tendo pelo menos uma projeção (9) em sua superficie externa, e um dispositivo resiliente (10) disposto em uma das paredes internas (11 ) do refrigerador. O dispositivo resiliente (10) coopera com a projeção (9), variando entre uma configuração tensionada e uma configuração de repouso de acordo com a quantidade de gelo que resta dentro do compartimento de gelo. A variação do dispositivo resiliente (10) de sua configuração tensionada para sua configuração de repouso aciona um circuito indicador de falta de gelo que avisa ao usuário que os pedaços de gelo no compartimento estão acabando.
