Abstract

A partition wall for integration into the vehicle cabin of a transportation means comprises a first surface and a second surface, which are arranged parallel to each other. The first surface comprises at least one recess, which may be filled with an at least regionally flat body designed correspondingly thereto, wherein the body is pivoted to the body by means of a swivelling means and may be brought into a stowed position and use position. The body fills out the accompanying recess when in its stowed position. This yields a multifunctional partition wall that may tangibly increase the comfort and available space on board the transportation means without taking up additional installation space.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A partition wall for integration into a cabin of a transportation means, comprising:
a first surface;
a second surface, arranged in parallel to the first surface;
a first flat body having a flat region; and
a vehicle attendant seat;
wherein the first surface comprises a first recess and a second recess;
wherein the flat body is pivoted around a horizontal hinge line to the first surface by a swiveling means and is movable between a stowed position and a use position;
wherein the flat body fills out the first recess when in the stowed position;
wherein the vehicle attendant seat is pivoted around a seat hinge line between a stowed seat position and a seating position;
wherein the vehicle attendant seat fills the second recess when in the stowed seat position; and
wherein the flat body has a working height adapted to the vehicle attendant seat.

2. The partition wall of claim 1 , wherein the flat body is flush with the first surface of the partition wall when in the stowed position.

3. The partition wall of claim 1 , further comprising at least one locking means for retaining the flat body in the stowed position.

4. The partition wall of claim 3 , wherein the at least one locking means is arranged on the side of the first recess.

5. The partition wall of claim 3 , wherein the at least one locking means is arranged on a side of the first recess lying opposite the hinge line.

6. The partition wall of claim 1 , further comprising a retaining support that is located at a position spaced apart from the hinge line and designed to support the flat body in the use position.

7. The partition wall of claim 1 , wherein a second vehicle attendant seat is situated on a monument lying opposite the partition wall, and wherein the working height of the flat body is adapted to the second vehicle attendant seat.

8. The partition wall of claim 1 , further comprising a clamp mounting for retaining objects that are positionable on the first surface, wherein the clamp mounting is clampable onto a surface of the object.

9. The partition wall of claim 1 , further comprising:
at least one cutout; and
at least one storage compartment corresponding with the cutout, wherein the storage compartment is situated on the second surface of the partition wall, and is accessible from the first surface by way of the cutout.

10. A monument arrangement in a transportation means, comprising:
a partition wall of claim 1 ; and
at least one monument that faces the first surface of the partition wall and is spaced apart from the partition wall.

11. The monument arrangement of claim 10 , comprising:
a vehicle attendant seat on the monument, wherein the vehicle attendant seat includes a seating surface which is swivelable and which faces the first surface of the partition wall in a seat use position.

12. The monument arrangement of claim 10 , comprising:
at least one parking space for a trolley, and
a clamp mounting pivoted to the partition wall for retaining the trolley.

13. A transportation means comprising:
a cabin; and
a partition wall of claim 1 situated in the cabin.

14. The transportation means of claim 13 , further comprising a monument arrangement.

15. A partition wall for integration into a cabin of a transportation means, comprising:
a first surface;
a second surface arranged in parallel to the first surface;
a tabletop having a flat region;
a storage compartment;
wherein the first surface comprises a first recess;
wherein the partition wall is formed with an orifice located below the first recess and extending from the first surface to the second surface;
wherein the tabletop is pivoted around a horizontal hinge line to the first surface by a swivelling means and is movable between a stowed position and a use position;
wherein the tabletop fills the first recess when in the stowed position;
wherein the storage compartment is located in and extends through the orifice and past the second surface and is accessible from the first surface.

16. A partition wall for integration into a cabin of a transportation means, comprising:
a first surface and a second surface arranged in parallel to the first surface;
a clamping mounting including a clamping plate and a locking device;
wherein the first surface comprises a first recess;
wherein the clamping mounting fills the first recess when in the stowed position;
wherein the clamping plate is pivotably movable from the first recess to a clamping position;
wherein the clamping plate is adapted to contact and retain a trolley adjacent the first surface when in the clamping position;
wherein the locking device is pivotably movable from the first recess to a locking position; and
wherein the locking device presses the clamping plate onto the trolley when in the locking position.
