Ice making compartment in an ice maker

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The ice making compartment, according to the present invention, comprises a vertical ice making plate where cooling pipes are fixed to the rear surface of the ice making plate, and a plurality of longitudinal and transversal partition plates fixed to the front surface of the ice making plate and defining cells in cooperation with the ice making plate.
Both partition plates comprise plates having differing heights from the front surface of the ice making plate.
It is preferable that the end tip at least one of said transversal partition plates is sharper than the others.
The transversal and longitudinal partition plates advantageously comprise alternatively arranged higher and lower plates from the front surface of the ice making plate.
Each end tip of the higher transversal plates advantageously has a roundness ranging from about 0.
2 to 1.
0 mm.
It is desirable that the higher and lower transversal plates are respectively identical to the higher and lower longitudinal plates in height from the front surface of the ice making plate, and that the difference in height between the higher and lower partition plates is about 3 to 5 mm.
It is a principal object of the present invention to provide a compartment which certainly separates the adjoining ice cubes during the defrosting cycle.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
