Thus, access to the ice dispensing unit becomes easy during the process of taking ice cubes.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the outer body performs its half-circular rotation around the vertical axis passing almost through the center of the inner body in more than one turn. Each turn brings the pushers positioned at different angles from one another, to the level of the cells that are at different elevations in the vertical plane. By means of the movement the outer body performs around the inner body, the pusher is enabled to contact a certain number of cells. Consequently, it is prevented to transfer ice cubes in more than the desired number out of the ice dispensing unit. In this embodiment, the area scanned by the outer body around the inner body determines the number of ice cubes to be released.
In a derivative of this embodiment, the rotation angle corresponding to the number of ice cubes to be received is marked on the outer body so that the user can see.
In a derivative of this embodiment, the pushers are roll-shaped and thus the area the pushers contact on the surface of the cells is increased.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the ice dispensing unit comprises a pin that is disposed on the inner body and that enables the outer body to rotate and a pin housing that is arranged on the outer body and wherein the pin is fitted.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the ice dispensing unit comprises a handle that extends outwards from the outer body and that has consecutive recesses and protrusions so that the outer body can be clasped easily and does not slip from the hand while being rotated.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the ice dispensing unit comprises a claw that is arranged on the inner body and that enables the inner body and the outer body to be grouped and a claw housing that is disposed on the outer body and against which the claw bears. Thus, the inner body is mounted into the outer body.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the ice dispensing unit comprises a protrusion that extends outwards from the outer body and that facilitates the placement of the ice dispensing unit into the cooling device rigidly by resting against the cooling device shelf.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the outer body is cylinder-shaped and thus the rotational movement around the fixed inner body becomes easy.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the outer body is transparent. Thus, whether or not the ice making process is completed can be controlled.
By means of the present invention, the ice cubes formed inside the ice dispensing unit can be served without the need of external service elements by taking the ice dispensing unit out of the cooling device, the desired number of ice cubes can be taken and customer satisfaction is increased.
