First Claim
1. An access device enabling secure communication between at least two areas of an enclosure through at least one opening, the access device comprising:
- a folding door having at least first and second panels, the folding door, when in a folded position, is configured to close the at least one opening and, when in a deployed position, forms a security vestibule comprising the first and second panels; and
at least one movable shutter configured to close said at least one opening created by the deployment of said folding door, wherein the security vestibule is formed by the at least first and second panels of the folding door, the movable shutter and walls between said areas of said enclosure, as well as a second door at the level of at least one of said walls.

Abstract
An access device enables controlled or secure communication between different areas of an enclosure, and in the example illustrated in the present application of an aircraft, while providing reduced size. The access device includes a folding door which, when in folded position, allows at least one of said openings to be closed and, when in deployed position, forms a security vestibule with at least one movable shutter allowing said opening created by the deployment of said folding door to be closed. By superimposing the main components of the security vestibule that said components allow to close, the device frees up the adjoining cabin space when the security vestibule is not in use.
