<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ice storage from which ice cubes are easily taking out. <P>SOLUTION: This ice storage 10 includes an ice storage chamber 22 capable of storing the ice cubes R made by an ice-making mechanism, and a door 36 for opening and closing an ice taking-out port 34 formed on a front inner wall 24 which defines the ice storage chamber 22. A guide section 48, which curves upward from the inside of the ice storage chamber 22 toward a rear inner wall 26 and permits upward movement of the ice cubes R, is disposed at a corner section A between a bottom surface 38 and the rear inner wall 26 of the ice storage chamber 22. The curvature of the guide section 48 is determined to be larger than corner sections B between the bottom surface 38 and the respective right and left inner wall 28, 30. Further, an ice discharge port 46 for discharging the ice cubes R from the ice-making mechanism opens rightward in the ice making chamber 22, and the guide section 48 is formed to be gradually inclined downward toward the other part of the ice making chamber 22. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
