In architecture, in a drawing or plan, it\'s called a section so I think it might be here too

Explanation:
to add two possibilities to what has already been proposed. "vue arrachée" is very uncommon and I can't remember having met that one before.

For a patent, I probably would choose the second and add a note for the client.

Hope this helps and good luck.
