raccord
Explanation:
Since it is presumably only an edge-wise butt join, I suspect this may be the most appropriate term.

  -> Merci, Françoise !
agree  Didier Fourcot: Ressemble à ça, raccord est général, joint suggère une notion d'étanchéité http://www.proz.com/kudoz/english_to_french/law:_patents_tra...

  -> Merci, Didier ! C'est comme ça que je le voyais aussi : c'est comme un raccord entre 2 laizes de papier peint (sans parler du motif !)

neutral  Tony M: This ref. is from a US firm, and the translated text is questionable in many places; not to be regarded as authoritative.

  -> Peut-être Tony. Mais le mot "jointure" peut très bien convenir ici, à mon avis. Endroit où les deux parties se joignent. @Didier, "joint" n'est pas forcément en rapport avec l'étanchéité.

agree  Tony M: Funny, it seems identical to Asker's source text — but a translation (of sorts!) of this already exists! / Yes, indeed — more or less as I'd instinctively imagined, but as you say, v. helpful to have an overall picture.
