Abstract
A method and a device for making pieces of ice where water in a container is frozen into ice. A helically threaded shaft extends through the container so that the ice surrounds the shaft and is engaged by the helical thread of the shaft. The threaded shaft is rotated with respect to the ice so that the ice is moved toward a cutting member carried by the threaded shaft. Subsequently, the ice is shaved by the cutting member.
