- this beverage dispensing machine 10 can also be assigned a means of payment, which is not explained in any more detail.
- an ice supply device 12 is placed in the cabinet housing 11 above the coffee machine unit 16, from which a tubular ice duct 20 is guided to the outlet opening 35 of the outlet unit 15 and the ice is lowered in portions, and this ice duct 20 is composed of sections that can be detached from one another.
- Pipe section 26 assembled. These sections are just plugged into each other. Also at the top of the attached connection pipe 14 of the ice supply device 12 or at the bottom in the outlet unit 15, the sections are inserted therein without fasteners. They each have corresponding end hubs 22a, 22b, 25a, 25b, 26a, 26b as pipe end connections, which fit positively into those of the adjacent sections and also advantageously have snap-in means 22', 25', 26', not shown in detail, on these hubs 22a, 22b, 25a, 25b, 26a, 26b are provided which, when the sections are inserted, engage one another by minimal bending of the hubs and lock in the inserted state or disengage again when pulled apart. Of course, these sections could otherwise be locked or fastened together.
- the branching valve 25 is assigned a pivoting, two-part flap 28 driven by a rotary motor 28' and a branch 23 downwards into a drain pipe 29, through which ice can flow into a collecting container or the like, not shown in detail.
- Chen is conductive and is melted.
- the upper angled piece of pipe 22 with its lower end at the hub 22b and the outlet pipe 29 following the branching valve 25 run approximately vertically and coaxially to one another.
- this pipe section 26, which opens into the outlet opening 35 is connected to a protruding connecting piece 27 of the branching valve 25 at an angle of less than 90°, preferably between 60 and 30°, to the vertical. After a predetermined length, this pipe section 26 then continues in a curve with the same incline and at the end it is bent downwards and opens into the outlet opening 35.
- the upper pipe section 22, the branching valve 25 and the pipe section 26 below are each provided partly with a round and partly with a rectangular or square cross-section.
- the connecting piece 27 of the branching valve 25 and the pipe section 26 are arranged in such a way that their lower sides 24 form a flat sliding surface for the ice, i.e. that sometimes the lower face 24' of the connecting piece 27 extends approximately horizontally.

- this outlet 35 for the ice is provided with a larger opening cross section than the outlet openings 31 to 34 for the drinks. It is rectangular in shape and is arranged with its inner long side 35' directly next to these outlet openings 31 to 34, the latter being placed in a row so close together that when a cup 19 is placed on the shelf they are all within the upper opening area.
- this outlet 35 can also have a different shape, such as round, oval or similar, depending on requirements.
- This ice supply device 12 with an ice-generating device is advantageous
- the ice supply device 12 has a motor-controlled conveying unit, for example a so-called hopper motor, which is known and not detailed, by means of which the ice is discharged in portions through the ice channel 20 into the container 19 can be let.
- This conveying unit can be controlled in such a way that the amounts of ice can be supplied in different portions of your choice.
- the rotary motor 28' is advantageously provided with a position sensor so that it can be determined when the flap 28 is not pivoted into the respective closed position, for example if ice cubes are jammed between the flap and the inner wall of the branching valve 25 or if an blockage from ice would occur and the flap could no longer be rotated.
- this measuring device for determining the amount of ice on delivery could be arranged in the ice supply device, or no measuring device could be provided and only the duration or the like could be controlled in the conveying unit.
- the invention is sufficiently demonstrated with the exemplary embodiments explained. However, it could also be illustrated by other variants.
- more or fewer sections can of course be used in the ice channel.
- the upper pipe section, the branching valve or the lower pipe section could each consist of two sections that can be detached from one another.
- the ice duct can also have any shape, which means that, as a further advantage, a high degree of flexibility is made possible for its installation.
- this branching valve and this drain pipe could be dispensed with and only the ice channel could be provided.
