  • Patent number: 12507799
    Abstract: A front panel for a furniture body allows an end face of movable furniture parts provided with a handle bar or strip to be gripped from behind. The front panel has a chamber accommodating a lighting device. The one-piece front panel has a base plate, in front of which a wall with multiple curvatures is connected. A first end portion of the wall extends from the movable furniture part in the direction of the body interior as far as the base plate. After a change of direction, a second end portion of the wall supports the chamber for accommodating the lighting device at a distance from the base plate. The chamber remains visible when the furniture body is viewed from the front. The wall forms a rear wall of the chamber and the rear wall faces the furniture body.
