Abstract
A structure comprises at least two unfurling panels and a knock prevention device intended to prevent the panels from knocking together when they are furled against one another. The knock prevention device comprises a one-piece element comprising two plates and arms connecting the two plates. A first of the two plates is fixed to the first panel. A second of the two plates forms a buffer against which the second panel comes to rest. The arms form an elastic element between the two plates.
