encadrement, cadre [du sommier]

Notes to answerer
Asker: Il s'agit effectivement d'une colonne � cinq montants. J'ignore � quoi cela peut servir, je ne peux donc pas pr�ciser le contexte. Je ne pense pas qu'on puisse utiliser le m�me terme que pour les sommiers. Si vous en savez plus sur ce genre d'appareils, je vous remercie de me communiquer vos informations.

Explanation:
