[p]These are not chord bends. You are only bending one note (the lower string) while you are holding the other note stationary. You pick them together. But they do not form a chord. They are called oblique in general because one note is moving up in pitch while the other does not change in pitch.

Guitarists also sometimes call this specific type a "unison bend" because you are bending the lower string until it matched the pitch of the higher unbent string.
