Embodiment Construction

[0014] FIG. 1 shows the lower part 1 and the lid 2 of the ice cube container according to the invention at a distance from each other. The lower part 1 has a flat upper side 3 in which a plurality of approximately cuboidal cells 4 are recessed. Adjacent compartments 4 communicate with each other through an overflow groove 5, which allows the water in one compartment 4 to overflow into an adjacent compartment, so that the entire lower part 1 can be injected into only one of the compartments 4 The water is poured without flooding the upper side 3 .

[0015] The flat upper side 3 is surrounded all around by an upwardly protruding bead 6 whose upper edge is 1 to 2 mm above the level of the upper side 3 and serves as a support for the flat inner side of the cover 2 . Therefore, the lid 2 does not come into contact with the upper side 3 in the closed state.

[0016] The surrounding outer wall 8 of the projection 6 bears against the surrounding edge 9 of the lid 2 from the inside a...

Abstract

The invention relates to an ice tray with a lower section (1), having a plurality of compartments (4), open to one side, and with a cover (2) which can be placed on the opened side of the lower section, whereby said cover is closed and seals against a flange (8), surrounding the opened side of the lower section.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a container for producing ice cubes, in particular in the form of cubes or near cubes, by filling the open compartments of the container with water and bringing the container together with the water contained therein Manufactured by cryogenic freezing. Background technique [0002] Such ice cube containers have the shape of open boxes that are divided into compartments. If such ice cube containers are stored in a refrigerator for a prolonged period, the ice develops a characteristic, unpleasant taste. At the same time, the ice also recrystallizes on its free surface to form a rough frost, so that ice cubes that have been stored for a long time can be recognized in this respect even if they have not changed in taste. Therefore, the user must periodically empty and refill such ice cube containers, even if the ice cubes thus remade remain inedible during this time. [0003] Although it is known to provide ice cube containers wi...
