Abstract

A cabin arrangement for a vehicle includes a first lateral segment module having a first main extension axis, a second lateral segment module having a second main extension axis, and an aisle. The main extension axes run parallel to each other, wherein the first lateral segment module and the second lateral segment module are distanced from each other in a direction perpendicular to the main extension axes and enclose the aisle between each other. The aisle runs parallel to the main extension axes, and the first lateral segment module has a receiving space that receives serving trolleys. The receiving space has an opening that faces into the aisle. The receiving space is designed to receive serving trolleys arranged transverse to the first main extension axis and staggered parallel to the first main extension axis.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A cabin arrangement for a vehicle, the cabin arrangement comprising:
a first lateral segment module having a first main extension axis; a second lateral segment module having a second main extension axis; and an aisle; wherein the first main extension axis and the second main extension axis run parallel to each other; wherein the first lateral segment module and the second lateral segment module are distanced from each other in a direction perpendicular to the main extension axes and enclose the aisle between each other, wherein the aisle runs parallel to the main extension axes; wherein the first lateral segment module comprises at least one receiving space to receive serving trolleys, wherein the at least one receiving space comprises a receiving opening, which faces into the aisle; and wherein the at least one receiving space is configured to receive serving trolleys, which are arranged transverse to the first main extension axis and staggered parallel to the first main extension axis.

2 . The cabin arrangement according to claim 1 , further comprising a first vehicle attendant seat arranged between the main extension axes of the lateral segment modules and at a distance to the lateral segment modules along the main extension axes.

3 . The cabin arrangement according to claim 1 , further comprising a first vehicle attendant seat arranged on one of the lateral segment modules or a component in between on a surface, which is orientable transverse to the respective main extension axis.

4 . The cabin arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein the first vehicle attendant seat is laterally movable and arrestable in at least two laterally distanced positions.

5 . The cabin arrangement according to claim 1 , further comprising a second vehicle attendant seat arranged at a first back wall positioned at an end of one of the first lateral segment module and the second lateral segment module facing away from the first vehicle attendant seat.

6 . The cabin arrangement according to claim 5 , wherein the first vehicle attendant seat and the second vehicle attendant seat create a tandem arrangement.

7 . The cabin arrangement according to claim 5 , wherein the first back wall spans up a plane, which extends perpendicular to the first main extension axis or the second main extension axis.

8 . The cabin arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first lateral segment module and the second lateral segment module comprises a lavatory, which is accessible through a lavatory opening facing into the aisle.

9 . The cabin arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the lateral segment modules comprises at least one first compartment having an access opening extending perpendicular to the main extension axes.

10 . The cabin arrangement according to claim 1 , further comprising a closable passage opening at an end of the aisle.

11 . The cabin arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein each of the lateral segment modules comprise a front directly connected to a door region of the vehicle.

12 . The cabin arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein at least one lateral segment module comprises a holding device positioned exterior to the receiving space for temporary holding a serving trolley.

13 . A passenger cabin comprising:
a plurality of seats; and at least one cabin arrangement, wherein each of the at least one cabin arrangement comprises:
a first lateral segment module having a first main extension axis;
a second lateral segment module having a second main extension axis; and
an aisle;
wherein the first main extension axis and the second main extension axis run parallel to each other; wherein the first lateral segment module and the second lateral segment module are distanced from each other in a direction perpendicular to the main extension axes and enclose the aisle between each other, wherein the aisle runs parallel to the main extension axes; wherein the first lateral segment module comprises at least one receiving space to receive serving trolleys, wherein the at least one receiving space comprises a receiving opening, which faces into the aisle; and wherein the at least one receiving space is configured to receive serving trolleys, which are arranged transverse to the first main extension axis and staggered parallel to the first main extension axis.

14 . A vehicle comprising:
a passenger cabin comprising a plurality of seats and a cabin arrangement, the cabin arrangement comprising:
a first lateral segment module having a first main extension axis;
a second lateral segment module having a second main extension axis; and
an aisle;
wherein the first main extension axis and the second main extension axis run parallel to each other; wherein the first lateral segment module and the second lateral segment module are distanced from each other in a direction perpendicular to the main extension axes and enclose the aisle between each other, wherein the runs parallel to the main extension axes; wherein the first lateral segment module comprises at least one receiving space to receive serving trolleys, wherein the at least one receiving space comprises a receiving opening, which faces into the aisle; and wherein the at least one receiving space is configured to receive serving trolleys, which are arranged transverse to the first main extension axis and staggered parallel to the first main extension axis.

15 . A vehicle according to claim 14 , wherein the vehicle is an aircraft and the cabin arrangement is arranged at a front end of the passenger cabin and wherein the aisle connects to a cockpit access.
