Patent ID: 7900470

Claim:
An icemaker comprising: a body including an ice mold for receiving water and freezing water to ice, the ice mold having a first side surface, a second side surface, and an arcuate bottom surface interposed between the first side surface and the second side surface; an ice ejector including an ejector member rotatably connected to the body, the ice ejector defining an axis of rotation; a drive mechanism operably coupled to the ice ejector, the drive mechanism configured to reversibly rotate the ice ejector between a first position and a second position; a first cover fixedly connected to the body for at least partially covering a front portion of the ice mold; a second cover connected to and extending from the ice ejector, the second cover configured to reversibly rotate with the ice ejector between the first position and a third position, the second cover at least partially covering a back portion of the ice mold at the first position, wherein the first and second covers prevent water slosh in the ice mold, a buildup of frost on the surfaces of the ice mold, water evaporation and ice sublimation, and wherein at the third position the second cover at least partially abuts the first cover, the first cover and the second cover defining an acute angle thereby allowing the ice to slide off the second cover.
