Abstract
An ice making assembly includes an ice tray extending along a longitudinal axis. The ice tray includes a first section disposed at a longitudinal first end of the ice tray, the first section including a plurality of first cavities projecting into the ice tray. The ice tray further includes a second section disposed at a longitudinal second end of the ice tray that is opposite from the longitudinal first end. The second section includes an elongated second cavity extending in a direction that is substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis of the ice tray. The second cavity has a shape that is longer in length than a length of each of the first cavities.
Claims20
An ice making assembly for use in a refrigerator assembly, the ice making assembly including:
- an ice tray extending along a longitudinal axis, the ice tray including:
- a first section disposed at a longitudinal first end of the ice tray, the first section including a plurality of first cavities;
- and
- a second section disposed at a longitudinal second end of the ice tray that is opposite from the longitudinal first end, the second section including an elongated second cavity extending in a direction that is substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis of the ice tray, the second cavity having a shape that is different than a shape of each of the first cavities.
An ice making assembly for use in a refrigerator assembly, the ice making assembly including:
- an ice tray extending along a longitudinal axis, the ice tray including:
- a first section disposed at a longitudinal first end of the ice tray, the first section including a plurality of first cavities, each of the plurality of first cavities having a substantially identical shape;
- and
- a second section disposed at a longitudinal second end of the ice tray that is opposite from the longitudinal first end, the second section including an elongated second cavity having a shape that is longer in length than the first cavities;
- a control system operably connected to the ice tray, the control system being configured to fill the ice tray with water for a first predetermined fill time such that the first cavities are filled with water and a second predetermined fill time after the first predetermined fill time such that the second cavity is filled with water.
An ice making assembly for use in a refrigerator assembly, the ice making assembly including:
- an ice tray extending along a longitudinal axis, the ice tray including:
- a first section disposed at a longitudinal first end of the ice tray, the first section including a plurality of first cavities;
- and
- a second section disposed at a longitudinal second end of the ice tray that is opposite from the longitudinal first end, the second section including an elongated second cavity extending in a direction that is substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis of the ice tray;
- a receptacle including a dividing wall separating the receptacle into a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion is configured to receive first ice cubes formed by the first cavities and the second portion is configured to receive second ice cubes formed by the second cavity.
