Abstract
To protect a base body (7) of the cabinet cover made of foamed plastic material, cover sheets (4), for example of sheet aluminum, are hooked over projecting edges of the side wall and overlapped with flaps (20) over the back wall (3) of the plastic base body. The corners of the cover sheets are angled-off in Z-shaped terminations (24) and connected to the base body by plastic elastic cover rails (6) connected to the base body (7) by snap-in projection-and-recess connections (12, 13; 8, 9), thereby providing a lightweight surface-protected cabinet which can be assembled simply and without requiring hand tools or assembly connectors such as screws or the like.
