Integrated monument

Abstract

A monument is provided for an aircraft. The monument includes, but is not limited to several system components with identical, substantially identical or similar functions that can be connected by way of a single system connection arrangement to the supply in the aircraft. Distribution of the supply media, received by the aircraft, to the individual system components takes place within the monument. The system connections can thus be identical to the system connections of a single monument.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A monument for an aircraft, comprising:
 a first toilet cabin including a first system component, which is a first toilet or wash basin;   a second toilet cabin including a second system component, which is a second toilet or wash basin;   a dividing wall dividing the first toilet cabin and the second toilet cabin;   a system connection arrangement including a fresh water connection;   a line arrangement including a first forked line;   wherein the system connection arrangement including a fresh water connection is configured to connect the first system component and the second system component to a fresh water supply line of the aircraft via the first forked line.   
     
     
         2 . The monument of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a water heater for providing hot water to the first and second system components;   wherein the first forked line and the water heater are arranged inside the first toilet cabin.   
     
     
         3 . The monument of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the monument is an on-board toilet monument;   wherein the first system component is a first toilet and the second system component is a second toilet that is separate from the first toilet.   
     
     
         4 . The monument of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the monument comprises a galley.   
     
     
         5 . The monument of  claim 1 , wherein the monument is configured for installation in a passenger cabin of the aircraft. 
     
     
         6 . The monument of  claim 1 , wherein the monument is configured as a combi module for replacing two identical single monuments. 
     
     
         7 . The monument of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a third system component; and   a fourth system component,   wherein the system connection arrangement is configured to connect the third system component and the fourth system component to the supply line of the aircraft,   wherein the line arrangement is configured to connect the system connection arrangement to the third system component and to the fourth system component,   wherein the third system component is a first wash basin, and   wherein the fourth system component is a second wash basin.   
     
     
         8 . The monument of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a control device configured to ensure that the first system component and the second system component together do not request more than a predetermined maximum quantity of water per unit of time from a water supply of the aircraft.   
     
     
         9 . The monument of  claim 8 ,
 wherein the control device is configured to prevent concurrent flushing of the first toilet and of the second toilet, such that the first and second toilets do not request more than a predetermined maximum quantity of water per unit of time from a water supply of the aircraft.   
     
     
         10 . The monument of  claim 7 ,
 wherein the first wash basin is arranged on a first side of the dividing wall,   wherein the second wash basin is arranged on a second side of the dividing wall, and   wherein the second side is situated opposite the first side.   
     
     
         11 . An aircraft comprising a monument, the monument comprising:
 a first toilet cabin including a first system component, which is a first toilet or wash basin;   a second toilet cabin including a second system component, which is a second toilet or wash basin;   a dividing wall dividing the first toilet cabin and the second toilet cabin;   a system connection arrangement including a fresh water connection;   a line arrangement including a first forked line;   wherein the system connection arrangement including a fresh water connection is configured to connect the first system component and the second system component to a fresh water supply line of the aircraft via the first forked line;   
     
     
         12 . The aircraft of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 a passenger cabin; and   seat rails,   wherein a monument is arranged in the passenger cabin and attached to the aircraft only at attachment points of a corresponding single monument and at the seat rails.
