Abstract

A supply system for supplying passengers in a passenger compartment of a vehicle, in particular an aircraft, includes a supply line and a number of supply modules which, for supplying the passengers, are connectable to the supply line. The supply modules are displaceable relative to one another along the supply line, the supply line having one or a plurality of supply openings by which the connection between the supply line and the supply modules can be established, each supply module furthermore being assigned at least one screen which is arranged in such a manner on the service supply line that it is displaceable along the supply line and can cover a part of the one supply opening or of the plurality of supply openings which is not used for the connection of a supply module to the supply line.
