With the solution according to the invention, a neutral and therefore realize uniform body production in all conceivable dimensions, the color (according to customer requirements) by means of fewer parts that are attached to the system.

Due to a few basic elements, it is a highly effective one Series production possible, since only the length dimension has to be determined, Function and equipment are then variable. In addition, the structure of the furniture bodies made in this way is extremely simple and almost accessible without tools.

Because of the standardized basic elements, sales can can also be done via hardware stores or the Internet.

There is always a shift in the division of the furniture body is conceivable, an extension can be acquired by purchasing the Make individual parts and simple insertion as desired.

By using environmentally friendly materials such as Aluminum and glass, or aluminum and solid wood, can be create numerous variants.

Furthermore, the simple composability brings high Variability with itself. So in the upper area of the closet Drawers can be arranged in different widths and below a broad extract. The space behind two large doors can be used later Pull-outs or drawers can be provided.

There is space for installations in the area of the rear wall panel at any time it is possible to open back panels as only the closing profile can be opened and individual rear wall profiles removed.

The invention is illustrated by the drawings in the following Exemplary embodiments explained in more detail.
