Abstract

According to the invention, several outward-projecting tongues are formed on the built-in housing part of a parallelepipedal built-in unit and a frame whose inner width is greater than the mounting dimension of the built-in housing, is configured on the front panel that is to be fixed on the built-in housing part. Grooves which are allocated to the tongues and corresponding sliding surfaces are formed on the interior of the frame, the grooves and surfaces cooperating with certain elasticity in the frame to form a one-way snap-on connection.
