Abstract

A modular monument comprises a first transport module with a tongue and a second transport module with a groove. The transport modules are arranged one on top of the other and aligned flush with each other on a lateral surface of the monument with the monument in an assembled state. The tongue and grooves engage into each other in the assembled state of the monument in such a way that the transport modules can be shifted relative to each other in a longitudinal direction. The first transport module exhibits a locking element to prevent a relative motion of the two transport modules in the longitudinal direction in the assembled state. The embodiment further relates to an aircraft with a modular monument, as well as to a method for transporting an item in a vehicle.
