Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007062928A1] The invention relates to a connection system (1) for connecting a built-in appliance (2) to a furniture unit (3), in particular to a niche (4) in said unit. Said system comprises a securing strip (5) which comprises first securing elements (9) for securing to the furniture unit side of the securing strip (5) and second securing elements (8) for securing to the appliance side of the securing strip (5) and at least one cover strip (6) which can be attached to the securing strip (5). Said securing strip (5) comprises at least one recess (11, 12) for securing the cover strip (6, 6') to the securing strip (5). The invention also relates to a furniture unit arrangement (10), in particular a kitchen range, comprising a plurality of furniture units (3), wherein at least one furniture unit (3) comprises a niche (4), and at least one built-in appliance (2). The built-in appliance (2) is built into the niche (4). The built-in appliance (2) is connected to the furniture unit (3) by means of the inventive connection system (1). The invention is characterised in that it is possible to obtain a mechanically solid connection which is simple, rapid and reliable and which fulfils a panelling function, between the built-in appliance (2) and the furniture unit (3), even when there is a misalignment between the unit (3) and the built-in appliance (2).
