Ice making and dispensing machine

An ice making and dispensing machine comprising in combination an enclosing cabinet, a water tight container constructed of high thermal transmitting material, pressurized syrup storage container, a refrigerating system including evaporator comprising metalic tubing having multiple contact points configured to contact the outer surface of the said water tight container, said water tight container being filled with water, said evaporator by means of heat transfer to produce a plurality of pure ice cubes beng circular in form and having a slight convex surface adjacent to the side wall of the water tight container upon which they form and a greater convex surface on the opposite side due to ice build up as the cubes grown to any desired thickness, a means for providing a harvesting cycle consisting of an intermittently applied hot gas flow through said evaporator causing the ice cubes to release from the interior side wall and float to the surface of the contained water producing an ice/water mixture, conduits consisting of tubing located internally of the enclosing cabinet for circulating the ice/water mixture to a dispensing head and additional tubing extending from the syrup storage containers and disposed around and in contact with the outer surface of the ice/water mixture container thus effectively cooling the syrup while being delivered to the dispensing head, a means of circulating the ice/water mixture, a means for circulating the syrup to the dispensing head, the dispensing head located within the enclosing cabinet consisting of variable flow-rate dispensing valves and attending actuating members, a control system providing for the simultaneous dispensing of multiple beverage ingredients, a delivery chute consisting of tubing extending downward from the enclosing cabinet at a height sufficient to receive beverage containers, and a means for returning drained chilled water to the said water fill container.
