- an elongated housing;
base means for supporting said housing upon a suitable platform;
casing measn for shaving ice particles from a block of ice and dispensing such shavings therefrom;
access means provided with said housing for facilitating service of structure interiorly thereof;
weight means with said access means for providing gravity bias to a block of ice after thereof within said housing;
guiding and braking means for controlling the flow of said block of ice within said housing;
discharge means for receiving and dispensing the shaved ice;
said casing means including a pair of castings, one casting being stationarily mounted beneath the other one which is rotatably mounted, thus the lower casting catching ice shavings as produced by the upper rotatable casting from the block of ice; and

20. Apparatus for shaving ice for making snow cones comprising:
-
an elongated housing; base means for supporting said housing upon a suitable platform; casing means for shaving ice particles from a block of ice and dispensing such shavings therefrom; access means provided with said housing for facilitating service of structure interiorly thereof; weight means with said access means for providing gravity bias to a block of ice after placement thereof within said housing; guiding and braking means for controlling the flow of said block of ice within said housing; discharge means for receiving and dispensing the shaved ice; said access means including a door pivotally mounted on said housing for easy access to the interior of said housing; said door being mounted by means so it can be quickly and easily removable in its entirety, and said housing being oriented with a 3°
tilt toward the rear so that said door will be self-closing as normally mounted upon said housing; andsaid door supporting and guiding said weight means for biasing said ice block, thus said weight means being disengaged from said ice block upon opening said door. - View Dependent Claims (21)
