Abstract:
1. A refrigerator dispenser, comprising: a refrigerator dispensing assembly arranged integral to a refrigerator door and defining a cavity within a front surface of the refrigerator door; an ice dispensing actuator positioned within the cavity defined by the refrigerator dispensing assembly; an ice dispensing chute positioned within the cavity defined by the refrigerator dispensing assembly and oriented closer to the front surface of the refrigerator door than the ice dispensing actuator; a liquid dispensing actuator positioned within the cavity defined by the refrigerator dispensing assembly and oriented closer to the front surface of the refrigerator door than the ice dispensing actuator and the ice dispensing chute; and a liquid dispensing chute oriented closer to the front surface of the refrigerator door than the ice dispensing actuator, the ice dispensing chute, and the liquid dispensing actuator, wherein the ice dispensing actuator, the ice dispensing chute, the liquid dispensing actuator, and the liquid dispensing chute are arranged in the following serial order, along a plane that extends substantially perpendicular to the front surface of the refrigerator door within which the cavity is defined, from a relatively deep position within the cavity to a relatively shallow position within the cavity or to the front of the cavity: the ice dispensing actuator, the ice dispensing chute, the liquid dispensing actuator, and the liquid dispensing chute.
