gooseneck
A gooseneck is a type of flexible or curved structure or mechanism that is designed to resemble the curved neck of a goose. This term is commonly used to refer to designs in items such as lamps, trailers, microphones, or piping systems where the flexible or curved feature is needed. Office desk lamps are often designed with gooseneck so that the light can be directed wherever it is needed, while a gooseneck trailer hitch is used to connect a pickup truck to a trailer. The shape is used because it allows for a wide range of movement and flexibility.
