directing dropped ice back into the ice storage bin 26 in the preferred embodiment this concavity is formed by having raised side edges 44 and 46 the chute 40 is hingedly fastened to the ice storage bin 26 so as to rotate about a horizontal axis 47 between an upwardly oriented generally vertical position and a lower generally horizontal position shown in fig1 the chute 40 is also provided with a contoured convex lower surface 48 a camming element 50 shown in fig6 is mounted to the inner surface 52 of the outer door to cooperate with the lower surface 48 of the chute 40 such that as the outer door 30 is progressively rotated as shown in fig1 through 5 about its hinges from its open position shown in fig1 to its closed position shown in fig5 the chute 40 is progressively rotated from its lower position to its upper position the axis of rotation of the chute 40 is preferably disposed sufficiently recessed from the location of the camming element 50 such that the chute 40 is rests against the camming element in its upper position and is pulled downwardly by gravity to follow the camming element when the outer.
