Refrigerator

Abstract

A refrigerator includes an ice maker. The ice maker includes an upper tray which is made of an elastic material and has a plurality of upper chambers, and a lower tray which is made of an elastic material and has a plurality of lower chambers, where the lower tray is configured to rotate relative to the upper tray and contact the upper tray to define spherical ice chambers.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A refrigerator comprising:
 a cabinet configured to define a storage space; and   an ice maker mounted in the storage space and configured to make spherical ice,   wherein the ice maker comprises:
 an upper tray in which a hemispherical upper chamber is defined; 
 a rotatable lower tray in which a hemispherical lower chamber is defined so that the lower tray is in contact with the upper tray to define a spherical ice chamber; 
 a lower support which is configured to support the lower tray and in which a lower opening is defined; 
 a driver configured to rotate the lower support; and 
 a lower ejector disposed within a rotation region of the lower tray so that, when the lower support is rotated, the lower ejector pushes the lower chamber through the lower opening to separate the ice.
