  • Object of the present invention is to provide an ice maker with a pivoting tray, which can be housed together with other refrigerated goods in a compartment of a refrigerator, without leading to increased stress on the compartment by frost formation.
  • the object is achieved by providing in an ice maker for a refrigerator with a pivotable about an axis, divided into compartments for the production of each piece of ice tray and at least on an upper side and a lower side open frame in which the tray is added to the Top of the frame, a lid is attached and a receptacle covers the bottom of the frame.

While direct free-handed pouring of water from above into a tray may not prevent water from being splashed outside the tray or being poured near the tray, the position of a sink of the bowl can be determined to safely exclude this hazard can be. In freehand pouring, not only the direction of the water jet, but also its strength is sometimes difficult to control. If pouring too quickly, a tray may overflow and overflow water across an edge of the tray. On the other hand, by properly setting the cross-section of the drain, the rate at which the water flows into the trays of the tray can be limited so that overflow of the tray can be safely avoided.
  • the outflow of the pool can expediently run parallel into several compartments of the tray.
  • a removable from the icemaker measuring container whose volume corresponds to the capacity of the tray or an integral fraction of the capacity of the tablet.
  • An edge region of the cover which covers the recess is preferably hollow underneath; this provides a user with the opportunity to extract the icemaker from a refrigerator in which it is placed by engaging in the cavity of the lid.
  • a recess which receives the measuring container can directly adjoin said end face of the housing. So the icemaker needs only a little to be pulled forward, so that the measuring container is accessible and can be removed.

  • the second holding contours allow the collecting container to be pulled out while the frame remains in place. Since the collecting container is arranged on the underside of the frame, the space requirement of the ice maker in the refrigerator can be reduced by removing the collecting container.
