flip-top

Cap that pivots

A flip-top is a hinged lid that opens by flipping upward, typically on containers like bottles, trash cans, or cigarette packs: a flip-top cap on the shampoo bottle.

As an adjective, it describes items with this feature: a flip-top garbage can, a flip-top phone.

The design allows one-handed opening and closing.
