goosenecked
Like flexible lamps
Goosenecked describes something fitted with or shaped like a gooseneck—a curved, flexible connecting piece resembling a goose's long curved neck.
The term applies to lamps with adjustable curved arms, microphone stands, trailer hitches, and plumbing fixtures: a goosenecked desk lamp, a goosenecked faucet.
The shape allows positioning or movement while maintaining a connection.
