PURPOSE: An ice discharging apparatus of an ice maker for a refrigerator is provided to efficiently discharge ice from an ice making container by using one driving motor and to offer convenience to a user. CONSTITUTION: An ice discharging apparatus including a motor supporting member(4) having a thermostat(3) is composed of the step of driving a driving motor(2) by receiving electric signals informing of the completion of ice making, and acting for the movement of the driving motor by being transformed according to the feed of heat and installed in the center of a driving box(1) of an ice maker installed in a freezing chamber of a large refrigerator. A spring(5) is installed between the inner portion of the supporting member and the driving motor to offer elastic rebounding force after the movement of the driving motor along the inner face of the motor supporting member. A driving bevel gear(7) selectively interlocked with first slave bevel gears(8,8a) is installed on the end of a motor shaft(6) installed on the driving motor and rotating by the delivered power of the driving motor. Second slave bevel gears(10,10a) interlocked with the first slave bevel gears are installed on the end of the rotating shafts(9,9a) connected to the first slave bevel gears respectively. Herein, the second bevel gears are installed to be interlocked with third slave bevel gears(13,13a) installed on the end of driving shaft(12,12a) of a first and a second ice making containers(11,11a).
