Abstract

Ice-making apparatus (10) comprising water deliver means (12), a colouring station (18A-18E) arranged to impart colour to water received from the water delivery means and a freezing station (20) for forming readily separable blocks of ice from the coloured water formed at the colouring station and for selectively discharging the readily separable blocks of ice into a storage means (24A-24D) so as to present ice of a required colour, or combination of colours, the freezing station can advantageously employ open ended shaping elements (28A-28C), and associated freezing elements (32A-32C), allowing for the freezing of water therein so as to form a block of ice of an appropriate shape defined by the shaping element, and to subsequent allow for the removal of the shaped ice block from the lower open end thereof.
