Claim 0:
1. An ice-shaping device comprising:
a base extending from a first base end to a second base end, the base having a base inside surface and a base outside surface, the base inside surface defining a first ice molding cavity at the first base end, the base outside surface defining a channel that extends away from the first base end toward the second base end; and
a cover extending from a first cover end to a second cover end, the cover having a cover inside surface and a cover outside surface, the cover inside surface defining a second ice molding cavity that cooperates with the first ice molding cavity, the cover comprising a protrusion on the cover inside surface that cooperates with the channel, wherein:
the cover is movable with respect to the base from an open position to a closed position such that a distance by which the cover is separated from the base decreases as the cover is moved from the open position to the closed position,
when in the closed position, the first base end is located within an interior space of the cover defined by the cover inside surface and the second ice molding cavity cooperates with the first ice molding cavity,
when in the open position, the first base end is not located within the interior space of the cover, and
during movement of the cover from the open position to the closed position, the protrusion cooperates with the channel providing a physical interference to inhibit rotation of the cover with respect to the base.
