  • the furniture system can be, for example, a shelving system, a cabinet system, a drawer system or a system with different components.
  • the furniture system is especially modular. This means that with a limited number of basic elements (tubes, node elements and units as well as attachments) virtually unlimited different configurations can be built up.

  • correspondingly equipped pipes can be combined in a simple manner with node elements, in which the two polarities are also transmitted in a coaxial manner between the tubes, as z. B. from the already mentioned EP 13 405 139.0 emerge. This results in a particularly simple conductor arrangement in all participating structural elements of the furniture system.

  • the at least one protruding element can be a planar structure adapted to the geometry of the recess or a structure which mimics the edge of the recess or a plurality of structures which interact at spaced locations with the edge of the recess.
  • the interaction of the at least one projecting element with the edge of Recess thus leads to a clear definition of the position of the housing of the consumer module in the pipe of the pipe structure.
  • a first of the contact elements in one of the outer regions of the housing of the consumer module is arranged in a first circumferential position.

It can also be formed resiliently both contact elements. The reliability of the electrical contact is increased.
  • at least one of the resilient contacts in addition to the electrical contacting, also serves for mechanically fixing the module to the tube. If at least one of the resilient contacts, namely one on the The recess facing away from the side of the consumer module arranged contact, is formed with a comparatively large spring travel, can be achieved even with relatively small depth of the housing secure support and positioning in the tube. Due to the small depth, the insertion and removal of the consumer module through the recess is greatly simplified at the same time.
  • the light exit surface is arranged in the central region of the housing in a luminous element, in particular as part of the projecting element.
  • the emitted light can thus reach the solid angle areas to be illuminated substantially unhindered by the surrounding tube. Shading losses are avoided. Furthermore, an advantageous appearance results when the light element is switched on.
