English term or phrase: cope and stick joint
REINFORCING A COPE-AND-STICK JOINT
One of the most hotly debated joinery issues is whether or
not to reinforce a cope-and-stick joint. An obvious fact is that
the increased gluing surface and stub tenon of a cope-and-stick
frame is simply no match for the strength of a long tenon. On
cabinet doors that see a lot of daily use, the joint can fail, even
when pinned from behind with brads. One method of reinforcing
the joint is to glue dowels into the stiles and rails. The
strongest solution is this: First rout a separate mortise into the
edge of the stile and into the end of the rail; then glue “loose,”
or floating, tenons into both mortises. Make sure the tenon is
housed at least 1 in. into each part.
Properly fitted and made from a hardwood, a loose tenon
can be stronger than a conventional mortise-and-tenon joint—
and in many cases easier to construct for the small-shop woodworker.

Guide to Joinery, by Gary Rogowski, The Taunton Press.)

'Îmbinare în unghi, cu cep şi scobitură asigură o îmbinare puternică în unghi drept la colţul unei rame. Cepul e mai mic decât lăţimea ramei, astfel că locaşul nu ajunge pe partea cealaltă, aspectul îmbinării fiind mai frumos.'
