Embodiment Construction

[0042] figure 1 and figure 2 An example of a domestic appliance 1 is thus shown, which comprises a main body 3 and at least one flexible decorative element 5 embedded in the main body 3 .

[0043] Typically, the device 1 has open first and second cavities 9 a , 9 b on the outside of the body 3 .

[0044] The flexible decorative element 5 has an elongated form. The decorative element 5 may consist of a single part fitted around the body 3 of the device 1 , or of two parts, for example two different decorative elements 5 a , 5 b embedded around the main body 3 . In the case of two decorative elements 5a, 5b, these decorative elements may be identical.

[0045] A predominantly one-sided implementation and fastening of these decorative elements 5 , 5 a , 5 b is to be considered within the scope of the invention.

[0046]The decorative elements 5, 5a, 5b are arranged around the peripheral area 300 of the main body 3 to be decorated and are thus locked by a retaining mechanism ...
