Abstract

Provided is an ice shaving machine that can shave ice into small fragments, can sanitarily handle ice for shaved-ice, can prevent ice from flying to the outside when shaving ice, and allows for making a predetermined amount of shaved-ice. The ice shaving machine includes: a body including a rotary member moved up and down and rotated manually or automatically, or both of manually and automatically, and having a mount and a shaved-ice container storage; an ice container having a receiving portion for ice, a shaved-ice exit formed through a bottom of the receiving portion, and an ice cutting blade attached to a lower surface at a side of the bottom from the shaved-ice exit; and a fixing mechanism fixing the ice container to the mount.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An ice shaving machine comprising:
 a body including a rotary member moved up and down and rotated manually or automatically, or both of manually and automatically, and having a mount and a shaved-ice container storage;   an ice container having a receiving portion for ice, a shaved-ice exit formed through a bottom of the receiving portion, and an ice cutting blade attached to a lower surface at a side of the bottom from the shaved-ice exit; and   a fixing mechanism fixing the ice container to the mount.   
     
     
         2 . The ice shaving machine of  claim 1 , wherein the body includes a first sensing unit for sensing a vertical position of the rotary member. 
     
     
         3 . The ice shaving machine of  claim 1 , wherein the body includes a second sensing unit for sensing attachment and detachment of the ice container. 
     
     
         4 . The ice shaving machine of  claim 1 , wherein the ice container includes a height adjuster for adjusting a vertical position of the ice cutting blade protruding over the shaved-ice exit by adjusting a position of the ice cutting blade. 
     
     
         5 . The ice shaving machine of  claim 2 , wherein the ice container includes a height adjuster for adjusting a vertical position of the ice cutting blade protruding over the shaved-ice exit by adjusting a position of the ice cutting blade. 
     
     
         6 . The ice shaving machine of  claim 3 , wherein the ice container includes a height adjuster for adjusting a vertical position of the ice cutting blade protruding over the shaved-ice exit by adjusting a position of the ice cutting blade.
