ICE PIECE EJECTION MECHANISM FOR ICEMAKER Abstract An icemaker including a freezer mold having a plurality of partitioned walls disposed within the mold to define a plurality of cavities in which water is to be frozen to form ice pieces having an edge portion. There is provided a stripper member disposed longitudinally along one side of the mold and having a portion thereof above the cavities and said portion having an upwardly depending ridge. The ejection of ice pieces from the mold is provided by a rotating ejector for rotatably moving the ice pieces to above the cavities and to continue rotating the ejector and moving the ice pieces onto the stripper member such that the edge portion of the ice pieces engage the upwardly depending ridge and are retained thereby. Continued rotation of the ejector pivots the ice pieces upwardly about the edge portion and past the vertical whereupon the ice pieces tumble off the stripper member laterally outward of the mold.
