Abstract: A furniture unit has a plurality of mutually delimited furniture compartments, which in particular are designed as display cabinets. At least one lighting member can be installed as required in each furniture compartment. Rod elements of a predetermined length are provided to carry the electrical current and are affixed within the furniture unit. Furthermore, mountings are provided whereby the rod elements can each be completely retained within a furniture compartment. Connection elements provide an electrical connection between rod elements of different furniture compartments. The connection elements are designed as flexible conductors in some regions and may be 1:n branches (n=2, 3, etc.). The mountings are so arranged and designed that the rod elements are essentially fixed at both ends, it being possible for the connection elements to be connected at any time, as necessary to the ends of the rod elements.

Abstract: A furniture unit has a plurality of mutually delimited furniture compartments, which in particular are designed as display cabinets. At least one lighting member (21) can be installed as required in each furniture compartment. Rod elements (17.1 to 17.8) of a predetermined length are provided to carry the electrical current and are affixed within the furniture unit. Furthermore, mountings are provided whereby the rod elements (17.1 to 17.8) can each be completely retained within a furniture compartment. Connection elements (19.1 to 19.4) provide an electrical connection between rod elements of different furniture compartments. The connection elements (19.1 to 19.4) are designed as flexible conductors in some regions and may be 1:n branches (n=2, 3, etc.). The mountings are so arranged and designed that the rod elements are essentially fixed at both ends, it being possible for the connection elements to be connected at any time, as necessary, to the ends of the rod elements.
