Abstract

A device for the electrification of furniture includes at least a first furniture panel, which has, in one of its two panel sides, two parallel grooves and two exposed busbars laid respectively in the two grooves and at least one electric plug for connecting to the two busbars. The plug has two electrical contacts, which are formed as exposed collector contacts on a connecting side of the plug housing and as connection contacts on a front side of the plug housing. The plug is inserted into a bore, interrupting the two grooves, in the one panel side of the first furniture panel. The collector contacts each lie against the two busbars in an electrically conductive manner.
