Abstract
A body for a refrigerator device, includes a front side that is open towards the interior of the body, whereby the opening on the front side is defined by vertical edge strips and horizontal front strips. At least one edge strip, together with a side wall, is a component of a side part formed from a slab of flat material. The side part has a clamp-type joint element that is joined to the front strip. The front strip, which is inserted into the joint element, exerts a force upon the edge strip, working towards an expansion of the angle at which the edge strip is connected to the side wall thereof.
