A frame is provided for each of the screen sectors for framing and supporting the screen sectors by reinforcing the circumference of the screen sectors. An axle arrangement on at least one of the frames extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis and is provided for adjusting the distance between the longitudinal axis and a respective one of the screen sectors and one circumferential side of the screen sectors. The axle arrangement comprises a first and second axle parallel to each other within the range of two adjacent circumferential sides of two adjacent screen sectors. A pitman rod connects the axles.
