hingeless
Lacking swinging joints
Hingeless describes something lacking a hinge—the pivoting joint that allows doors, lids, or shells to swing open.
A hingeless door might slide or fold instead.
Bivalves like oysters have hinged shells; some primitive species are hingeless.
The word appears in engineering contexts for designs that eliminate traditional pivot points: hingeless rotor blades.
