Coupling assembly for ostomy appliance with clamp arrangement
The patent US12042421B2 describes a coupling assembly specifically designed for ostomy appliances, which includes a first coupling and a second coupling that surrounds the first. A clamp arrangement is integrated into the second coupling, featuring a clamp ring with a continuous body and a clamp lock mechanism. This assembly is engineered to prevent the separation of the first and second couplings by allowing the clamp lock to selectively couple the ends of the clamp ring. The design includes features such as tabs on the clamp ring for manual adjustment and a mechanism that can release the clamp under radial force, enhancing usability and functionality.
Additionally, the patent outlines the structure of the clamp ring, which can transition between an unclamped state, allowing separation of the couplings, and a clamped state that secures them together. The clamp lock can be operated via a lever and catch system, providing a reliable means to maintain the assembly's integrity during use. The coupling assembly is further integrated into an ostomy appliance, which includes an ostomy pouch and wafer, ensuring a comprehensive solution for users. The claims also detail methods for mounting and adjusting the clamp arrangement, emphasizing the ease of transitioning between states to accommodate user needs.
