Abstract

A cover for a freezer ice tray which prevents splashing out of the water in the tray before freezing, and additionally functions to maintain the tray in place in a freezing compartment of a refrigerator housed in a relatively unstable trailer or boat and to improve the heat conducting contact between the ice tray and the evaporator pipe. The cover has a downwardly directed front part along its entire width that substitutes as a door to the freezing compartment.
