Abstract
A portable ice cube making machine comprising a plurality of inverted ice forming cups disposed above a water spraying mechanism. The water source for the machine consists of a water reservoir consisting of first and second chambers, the first of which is provided with a pump for transferring water therefrom to the spray mechanism, with the first chamber being supplied with water from the second chamber which is substantially larger than the first chamber so as to contain sufficient water for several ice producing cycles and obviate the need for the machine to be connected to a conventional source of water via conventional plumbing. The spray mechanism is in the form of at least two semi-spherical enclosures to which water is supplied by the pump and is therein caused to circulate in a circular fashion to produce the desired water spray.
