Movable-Spout Closures. Also referred to as turret, swivel, or toggle types, the movable-spout concept features a hinged spout which can be flipped into operating position and reclosed with the thumb alone to provide one-handed access and reseal.... Most movable spouts are two-piece constructions, though a one-piece swivel spout design requiring one manufacturing operation has recently been introduced. 1, record 2, English, - movable%2Dspout%20closure
