This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18224356 titled 'ICE MAKER AND REFRIGERATOR

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an ice maker that consists of an upper assembly with an upper tray and an upper chamber, a lower assembly with a lower tray and a lower chamber, and a lower supporter that holds the lower tray. The lower assembly is rotatably connected to the upper assembly. There is also an upper ejector with an ejecting pin that separates ice from the upper tray. The upper ejector is connected to the lower assembly and moves along with it when rotated.

  • Upper assembly has an upper tray with an upper chamber for ice-making
  • Lower assembly has a lower tray with a lower chamber for ice-making
  • Lower supporter holds the lower tray in place
  • Lower assembly is rotatably connected to the upper assembly
  • Upper ejector with an ejecting pin separates ice from the upper tray
  • Upper ejector is connected to the lower assembly and moves with it when rotated


Original Abstract Submitted

An ice maker includes an upper assembly provided with an upper tray which has an upper chamber recessed upwardly to define an upper side of an ice chamber in which water is filled to generate ice, a lower assembly provided with a lower tray which has a lower chamber recessed downwardly to define a lower side of the ice chamber, and a lower supporter which supports a lower side of the lower tray, in which the lower assembly is rotatably connected to the upper assembly. The ice maker also includes an upper ejector provided with an upper ejecting pin which separates ice from the upper tray after ice-making is completed, in which the upper ejector is connected to the lower assembly to be interlocked with each other, such that when the lower assembly is rotated, the upper ejector is lifted and lowered.
