Abstract
An ice maker has an ice tray having at least one fluid receptor cavity for forming an ice mass therein. An ejector assembly conveniently has one or more ejector members corresponding in number and in register respectively with the cavities. The ejector assembly is fixed with respect to the tray and the tray is movable relative to said assembly to cause entry of the or each member into its associated cavity and consequent ejection of the formed ice mass therefrom.
