Front of a row of units

Abstract

A front of a row of units comprising at least two grooves, the grooves being formed in particular as grip strips (or in particular as design joints), the row of units comprising adjacently arranged modules, grooves of horizontally adjacent panels in a first position of the front being arranged in succession substantially without misalignment and forming a horizontally extending channel, characterized in that these grooves assume, in a second position of the front, a vertical misalignment in the orientation with respect to each other, the front comprising at least one closure means, and at least one of the grooves being closed by the closure means with respect to the subsequent adjacent groove on a free end.

1 . A front of a row of units comprising at least two grooves, the grooves being formed as grip strips or as design joints,
 the row of units comprising adjacently arranged modules,   each module comprising a body and at least one panel,   the panels forming the front and comprising the grooves,   grooves of horizontally adjacent panels in a first position of the front being arranged in succession substantially without misalignment and forming a horizontally extending channel,   
       wherein these grooves assume, in a second position of the front provided by means of a vertical displacement of a module of the row of units in the orientation with respect to each other, a vertical misalignment, by means of which the horizontally running channel is interrupted at least in part,
 the front comprising at least one closure means, and 
 at least one of the grooves being closed by the closure means with respect to the subsequent adjacent groove on a free end, in such a way that the channel cannot continue into the adjacent groove. 
 
     
     
         2 . The front as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the closure means is formed as a plate and is held in the groove with a form fit and/or a frictional fit. 
     
     
         3 . The front as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the closure means is formed in one piece with the groove. 
     
     
         4 . The front as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the closure means is formed by one of the panels of the front. 
     
     
         5 . The front as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the closure means is formed by a side cheek of one of the modules of the row of units or by an add-on part that is secured to one of the modules of the row of units. 
     
     
         6 . The front as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising safety switches, for activation and deactivation of the switch arrangement, are formed on drawers or cupboard doors. 
     
     
         7 . The front as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the safety switches are contact switches.
