Pour distinguer les coinceurs mécaniques montés sur les barres centrales rigides de ceux montés sur les câbles flexibles, on a trouvé la locution «modèles rigides», ce qui a amené à la proposition du terme «coinceur mécanique rigide». Aussi par analogie avec le terme «coinceur mécanique flexible». 1, record 1, French, - coinceur%20m%C3%A9canique%20rigide
