Pocket train
As Taschenzug in which is Heraldry a Herold image designates that a fallen inwardly bent or a curved tip similar.
In this figure, two lines converge to a point from the upper edge of the shield in its width towards the shield base. Between these is another tincture that differs from the rest of the shield . It's a shield division. The term pocket train is no longer in use in modern heraldry, because the blazon with the tip turned down is easier to understand. The above also applies to a field .
The counterpart of this herald's picture is the coat pull , also known as coat cut . It is the upright curved tip.
