The disclosure relates to a refrigerator having an ice maker with an improved structure. The refrigerator includes an ice maker installable in the door, and including a frame, an ice-making tray which is detachably mounted on the frame, configured to contain ice, and a water bucket which is rotatable while mounted on the frame, configured to supply water to the ice-making tray. The water bucket may include a rotating shaft as a rotation center about which the water bucket is rotatable, and a moving guide spaced apart from the rotating shaft and movable around the rotating shaft. The frame may include a rotating shaft coupling portion to which the rotating shaft is rotatably coupled, and a guide rail on which at least a portion of the moving guide is supported, configured to guide a rotational movement of the water bucket.

The present invention comprises a fishing ice hole flaring apparatus having a triangle-shaped base that that includes a pair of hinged arms each having a cutting blade attached thereto, a central shaft having a first end and a second end, the central shaft extending through the apex region of the triangle-shaped base proximal the first end, a pair of retraction cable attached to a portion of their corresponding hinged arms, a cable housing attached to a portion of the central shaft and running parallel to the central shaft and supporting a portion of each of the retraction cables therein, a cable retraction knob attached to the first ends of the retraction cables, the cable retraction knob operable to move the pivotably move the hinges arms between a retracted position and an in use position, and a z-shaped cranking handle system manually rotatably power the apparatus.

An article of manufacture for providing an ice dam hammer is made from an ice breaking head, coupled to a tubular aluminum adapter designed to connect to the detachable handle of an existing article of manufacture known as a roof rake. The ice breaking head includes a main breaking head whereas the lower/bottom side of the ice breaking head has a plurality of blunt protrusions. The upper/top side of the ice braking head has two flat protrusions. The one side of the hammer head is pointed. The second side of the hammer head has a rounded end.

A wheel well ice buildup removal assembly includes a cylinder having a first end, a second end and a perimeter wall. The first and second ends each have an opening extending therethrough. A rod extends through the first end and has an outer end positioned outside of the cylinder and an inner end positioned in the cylinder. A head is attached to the inner end and has a distal end that is pointed extending outwardly of the second end. The distal end is positionable in a retracted condition positioned within the cylinder and a deployed condition positioned outside of the cylinder. A spring is mounted within the cylinder and biases the head away from the first end and outwardly of the second end. The rod is pulled outwardly away from the first end and released to cause the head to forcibly extend from the cylinder.

An ice making assembly includes a resilient mold defining a mold cavity for forming one or more ice cubes, a mold frame being rotatable between a first position and a second position, a lifter mechanism positioned adjacent to the resilient mold and rotatable with the mold frame between the first position and the second position, the lifter mechanism configured to deform the resilient mold as the mold frame rotates between the first position and the second position, and a sweep assembly to facilitate extraction of the one or more ice cubes from the resilient mold. The sweep assembly includes a sweep blade slidably mounted to the mold frame over the resilient mold and being movable between a first position and a second position and a mechanical stop that moves the sweep blade toward the second position as the lifter mechanism moves toward the second position.

A device for breaking up frozen substance in a drink comprises a springy sheet with a plurality of shaving elements protruding from the sheet, wherein the sheet is configured to orient in a curled configuration for insertion into a container such as a cocktail shaker, and wherein the sheet is further configured to expand to press itself up against the interior surface of the container, such that the sheet maintains a fixed position within the container during shaking of the container, without extraneous attachment elements. In some embodiments, each of the shaving elements includes a combination of rounded cutting edges and straight cutting edges.

An ice bin and scoop and related methods are disclosed. The ice bin includes a liner in an outer shell. A support plate is fitted in a space between the liner and the outer shell. The support plate has either ferromagnetic or magnetic material. The scoop has either magnetic or ferromagnetic material. The support plate is positioned so that the scoop can be supported inside the ice bin on the perimeter wall of the ice bin by a force of magnetic attraction between the support plate and the scoop. The support plate is positioned so that the scoop may be held out of contact with ice deposited in the bin and out of the path of falling ice. Molded-in-place insulation may support the support plate in the space between the liner and outer shell.
