At least one movement unit has a frame hinged to the base structure for swinging about a hinge axis. A motor mounted on the frame has a rotation shaft and at least one cable winding/unwinding element. The latter includes a drum mounted on the frame and rotatable by the shaft of the motor. The drum has a lateral surface with a helical groove extending coaxially with respect to the axis of the drum and defining a series of hollow turns each conformed to receive and contain internally thereof a corresponding winding turn of the cable during the winding/unwinding of the cable about the drum.
