An ice level detection structure for ice makers is located on an ice maker to detect the ice level of ice cubes actually stored in an ice trough. It includes a detection rack located above the ice trough. The ice maker has a motor and a transmission means to transmit the detection rack. Through mechanical transmission the detection rack can accurately judge the ice level of the ice cubes actually stored in the ice trough.

The present invention discloses a fastener with lateral fastening mechanism, including an outer case, a slide block, a claw-shaped head, and a flexible member. The outer case is a hollow tubular member. A swing lever is pivotally connected inside the outer case. The slide block can move freely to a first position where the slide block is hidden inside the outer case, and to a second position where the slide block sticks out of the outer case. One end of the slide block is pivotally connected to the claw-shaped head, and the flexible member can constantly provide force for pushing the claw-shaped head and the slide block. A guide area of the slide block can interact with the swing end of the swing lever, and in the state of interaction, the position of the slide block can be decided to be either at the first position or the second position.

A microswitch that is easy to assemble and manufacture. The microswitch of this invention constantly keeps the connecting section of a resilient component for opening/closing an electric switch in contact with the first conductive section of a first conductive terminal in the main body of the microswitch, and houses a plate-shaped second conductive section with a contact area inside the main body. The first and second conductive sections of the resilient component generate signals preset by the microswitch for an initial signal connection state to a final connection state by a displacement produced by pressing a press button on a contact area of the second conductive terminal in order to increase the distance required for controlling the signal connection and allow the resilient component to have an effective deformation and provide the best resilience of the press button.
