Notes to answerer
Asker: Merci pour la piste! Je viens de trouver "silencieux emboutis à demi-coquilles". Mon glossaire fourni par le constructeur n'a qu'une seule entrée pour "clamshell" est c'est "demi-coquille", donc je ne sais pas trop... Par chance c'est de la littérature destinée aux vendeurs, pas à des mécaniciens!

Asker: Ok parfait, on ne bouge plus!
