Abstract
An ice dispenser includes a metal bracket fixed to the outer wall surface of an ice stocker and supports a shutter mechanism. A spacer made of a thermally insulating material is intervened between the bracket and the shutter mechanism. This will prevent cold inside the ice stocker from being conducted into the shutter mechanism to obviate the deposition of dew-condensation water on the shutter mechanism.
