First hinging means (16) which are angularly movable in a substantially unlimited manner and axially movable between two stopping means and second hinging means (18) which are movable only angularly in a restricted manner. Alternatively, the first and second hinging means can be formed by elements (176, 178) made of elastomeric materials.
