Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0270495A2] Wooden panels (43-45, 51, 63, 64, 72, 73) of equal width are available for furniture, in particular for bookshelves. These wooden panels are held together by pins in wooden edge strips (41, 42, 61, 62, 71). The wooden edge strips likewise have a uniform length of the single, double or triple width of the wooden panels. Thus dimensions which can be matched to the respective space are obtained for the furniture. <IMAGE>
