Ice making machine

Abstract

The ice making machine constructed in accordance with the invention has an ice making mold with a plurality of ice making cells opened at the bottom, a water tank, water spray nozzles adapted for spraying the water contained in the water tank towards said ice making cells, an ice stocker adapted for storage of ice cubes formed in and harvested from said ice making cells, and an inclined plate having water spray openings and recovery openings and mounted between said ice making mold and the water spray nozzles. The inclined plate comprises a corrugated upper section, a similarly corrugated lower section and a transition section having a flat surface and interconnecting said upper and lower sections. The recesses and projections of the upper section are aligned respectively with projections and recesses of said lower section in the direction in which the water and ice cubes are moved on the inclined plate. The lowermost points of the recesses of the upper section are connected to and are at the same height level as the uppermost points of the associated projections of the lower section.
