PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To smoothly carry out ice cubes from an ice cube carrying-out device of an ice dispenser. SOLUTION: This ice dispenser 10 comprises the ice cube carrying-out device 40 composed of a first ice cube carrying mechanism 42 for delivering the ice cubes K prepared by an ice making mechanism 20 to the lateral direction and a second ice cube carrying mechanism 60 for carrying the ice cubes K received from the first ice cube carrying mechanism 42 to an upper part and discharging the same to the outside of a machine. The first ice cube carrying mechanism 42 is mounted inside of a box-shaped casing 44 opened at its upper part, and comprises a delivering screw 46 for delivering the ice cubes K in the casing 44 toward the second ice cube carrying mechanism 60. The second ice cube carrying mechanism 60 comprises a carrying chain 68 vertically extended to be faced inside of the casing 44 at its lower part, and receiving the ice cubes K at its lower part to carry the same to the upper part. The delivering screw 46 is connected with a driving means M through a transmission mechanism 54, and a delivering speed of the delivering screw 46 is determined to be slower than a carrying speed of the carrying chain 68.
