Abstract

The front system contains one lever pull handle (1) preferably both at the upper and the lower corner of the front element (38, 11). A latching slide (10) is mounted in each of these lever pull handles (1). Furthermore, a latching mechanism (22, 23, 26) is provided, which engages on the latching slide, as well as on a stressing mechanism (35) and on the front element (38, 11) such that the lever pull handle is held resting against the front element (38, 11) in a locked position. The latching mechanism can be unlocked again by a movement of the latching slide which is exerted on a pushing region (27) of the latching slide and is directed in a direction opposite to the pre-stress (52, 53) of the stressing mechanism.
