Abstract

A cabin monument for an aircraft includes a floor panel, which forms a base surface of the cabin monument, and a surrounding sidewall which defines an interior space of the cabin monument. The surrounding sidewall is assembled from a first wall part and a second wall part which is coupled to this. Provision is made on at least one of the wall parts for a fixing section which is overlapped by the floor panel. Also described is an aircraft which features such a cabin monument.

Claims (18)

1. An aircraft, comprising:

a body;

an inner floor, which extends in an interior space of the aircraft which is delimited by the body; and

a cabin monument comprising:

a floor panel, which forms a base surface of the cabin monument, and has an inner lateral surface and a rear lateral surface; and

a surrounding sidewall, extending transversely to the floor panel, which defines an interior space of the cabin monument;

wherein the surrounding sidewall is assembled from a first wall part and a second wall part which is coupled to the first wall part; and

wherein at least one of the wall parts comprises a fixing section having a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the fixing section is overlapped by the floor panel such that the rear lateral surface of the floor panel rests on the top surface of the fixing section, and wherein the fixing section is clamped in between the floor panel and the inner floor.

2. The aircraft according to claim 1 , wherein the first and the second wall parts are configured as half-shells.

3. The aircraft according to claim 2 , wherein the first wall part comprises a first fixing section and the second wall part comprises a second fixing section, wherein the first and the second fixing sections are overlapped in each case by the floor panel.

4. The aircraft according to claim 1 , wherein the first wall part has a first connecting section which extends transversely to a main section of the first wall part which delimits the interior space, and the second wall part has a second connecting section which extends transversely to a main section of the second wall part which delimits the interior space, and wherein the first connecting section and the second connecting section are interconnected.

5. The aircraft according to claim 4 , wherein the first connecting section and the second connecting section are clamped inside a clamping device.

6. The aircraft according to claim 1 , wherein the first and the second wall parts have in each case an outer cover layer, an inner cover layer and a spacing layer which connects the inner cover layer and the outer cover layer, wherein the spacing layer has a hollow structure.

7. The aircraft according to claim 1 , wherein a bearing device for the fixing of functional units is arranged on the inner lateral surface of the floor panel which faces the interior space.

8. The aircraft according to claim 1 , wherein a spacing device is arranged on the rear lateral surface of the floor panel which is located in a manner facing away from the interior space.

9. The aircraft according to claim 1 , wherein a bearing device for the fixing of functional units is arranged on an inner surface of at least one of the wall parts.

10. The aircraft according to claim 1 , wherein the fixing section is perpendicular to the at least one of the wall parts.

11. The aircraft according to claim 1 , wherein the fixing section and the rear lateral surface are parallel to the inner floor.
