duckbill
A duckbill is generally referred to one of the two classes: a type of animal or a tool. 1) In biology, a duckbill is commonly associated with duck-billed platypus, a semi-aquatic, egg-laying mammal from Australia characterized by its duck-like bill, beaver-like tail, and otter-like feet. 2) In the context of tools or equipment, a duckbill refers to a type of pliers with broad, flat jaws that are typically used in applications requiring a secure, firm grasp on an object. The term can also refer to a duckbill valve, a check valve in which flow proceeds through a soft tube that protrudes into the downstream side. 3) In the world of fashion, the term "duckbill" is also used to describe a type of cap or hat that has a wide front brim resembling the bill of a duck. In general, any object or organism with a structure resembling a duck's bill may be referred to as "duckbill".
