An articulated structure (1) comprises a central frame (2a) and at least three satellite frames (2b) surrounding the central frame (2a). The central frame (2a) and the satellite frames (2b) extend in a common main plane and each of the satellite frames (2b) is coupled to the central frame (2a) by a pair of couplings (6, 7). A first coupling (6) of the pair of couplings (6, 7) comprises a first support (8, 16, 19) that is mounted to the central frame (2a) through a first pivot (9, 18) and to the satellite frame (2b) through a second pivot (10). At least one of the first and second pivots has a single pivot point, such as a ball joint, and the other one of the first and second pivots has at least one pivot axis. A second coupling (7) of the pair of couplings (6, 7) comprises a second support (11, 17, 20) that is mounted to the central frame (2a) through a third pivot (12, 21) and to the satellite frame (2b) through a fourth pivot (13). At least one of the third and fourth pivots has a single pivot point, such as a ball joint, and the other one of the third and fourth pivots has at least one pivot axis. Hence, an imaginary axis of rotation (IA1, IA2) through the pivot point of one of the first and second pivot and the pivot point of one of the third and fourth pivot is formed.
