A support for a beaker made from ice

摘要

A support (16) for an ice beaker (10) comprises a cup-shaped body (16) with a side wall (17) and a base (18) for collecting the water resulting from the progressive melting of an ice beaker (10) housed in the cup-shaped body (16). The side wall (17) comprises regions (19), arranged spaced apart on the side wall, for supporting and restraining the outer wall of an ice beaker (10). The ice beaker (10) can be produced by an ice-making machine comprising a condensation plate with housings for receiving atomized water to form frozen elements. Each housing of the condensation plate comprises a conical side wall and a base wall, the taper of the side wall being sufficiently wide to bring about the formation of a frozen element which has a central cavity so as to be generally beaker-shaped.
