Each second lug is located between the two lugs of a respective pair of first lugs, and respective connecting pins pass through the first and second lugs on either side of the rotational axis. A pair of elastic bushings are arranged on each connecting pin between a first one of the first lugs and the second lug and between a second one of said first lugs and the second lug, respectively.
