First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A cabin arrangement for an aircraft, comprising: a galley monument comprising at least one projection surface; and a projector device configured to project graphical information onto the at least one projection surface, wherein the galley monument has a rack structure with slide-in compartments extending in a depth direction, wherein a horizontal surface oriented transversely with respect to the depth direction is configured as one of the at least one projection surface of the galley monument, and wherein the horizontal surface is formed by a surface of an extension configured to be moved between a slide-in position and an extended position, in which the extension protrudes in relation to the rack structure with respect to the depth direction. 2. The cabin arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the projector device is configured to project an interactive button as graphical information onto the at least one projection surface. 3. The cabin arrangement according to claim 2 , further comprising a plurality of functional units of the cabin arrangement, at least one of the plurality of functional units configured to be controlled via the interactive button. 4. The cabin arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the projector device is fastened to the galley monument. 5. The cabin arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the projector device is mounted pivotably. 6. The cabin arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the projector device is configured to project the graphical information either onto a first projection surface of the at least one projection surface or onto a second projection surface of the at least one projection surface, wherein the second projection surface is different from the first projection surface of the galley monument. 7. An aircraft with a cabin arrangement according to claim 1 . 8. A cabin arrangement for an aircraft, comprising: a galley monument comprising at least one projection surface; and a projector device configured to project graphical information onto the at least one projection surface, wherein the galley monument has a rack structure with slide-in compartments extending in a depth direction, wherein a vertical surface oriented along the depth direction is configured as one of the at least one projection surface of the galley monument, and wherein the vertical surface is formed by a front covering closing off one of the slide-in compartments. 9. The cabin arrangement according to claim 8 , wherein the projector device is configured to project an interactive button as graphical information onto the at least one projection surface. 10. The cabin arrangement according to claim 9 , further comprising a plurality of functional units of the cabin arrangement, at least one of the plurality of functional units configured to be controlled via the interactive button. 11. The cabin arrangement according to claim 8 , wherein the projector device is fastened to the galley monument. 12. The cabin arrangement according to claim 8 , wherein the projector device is mounted pivotably.
