cornières transversales de châssis
Explanation:
« angle » = cornière - profilé souvent en acier, dont la section a la forme d'un L.
« cross » donne une idée de traversée, d'où l'adjectif « transversales ».
La phrase et le site ci-dessous comprennent ce terme, dans un autre domaine, mais le principe est le même.

agree  Tony M: How about 'ossature' instead of 'châssis'? // Ô, je croyais qu'il s'agissait bien d'un bâtiment, non... ?

  -> Merci aussi pour la suggestion, mais il me semble que « ossature » s'emploie pour une structure plus imposante, comme pour un bâtiment.
