Patent ID: 8025083

Claim:
A device for supplying cooled goods, including in particular cooled water, ice cubes, or crushed ice, the device comprising: a.) means delimiting a recess relative to which a container can be disposed for receiving through an opening of the container cooled goods dispensed by the device; b.) means forming a device dispensing opening through which cooled goods are dispensed into a container disposed relative to the recess; and c.) a support carrier for supporting a container relative to the recess such that cooled goods can be dispensed to enter the container via an opening thereof, the support carrier being movable between a first position in which it supports the container relative to the recess with the device dispensing opening and the container opening being at a first predetermined opening-to-opening spacing from one another and a second position in which it supports the container relative to the recess with the device dispensing opening and the container opening being at a second predetermined opening-to-opening spacing from one another that is greater than the first predetermined opening-to-opening spacing, the support carrier being moved at least partly out of the recess in its movement between its first position into its second position with the result that the opening-to-opening spacing between the device dispensing opening and the container opening increases from the first predetermined opening-to-opening spacing to the second predetermined opening-to-opening spacing.
