Said clamping device comprises a fixed element (24) designed to overlap a marginal portion of the second part (12), a mobile element such as arms (26, 28) mobile between an overlapping position and a releasing position, and a member for retaining the arms in overlapping position. The arms (26, 28) and the marginal portion of the two parts have sloping surfaces which cause the arms (26, 28) to apply a force directed perpendicularly to the connecting plane.

Description

Dispositif de raccordement d'une poche à un support d'appareillage de stomie Device for connecting a pouch to an ostomy appliance holder
L ' invention concerne un appareillage de stomie du typeThe invention relates to an ostomy appliance of the type
"deux pièces", comprenant un support destiné à être fixé à la peau d'un patient, par exemple par collage, et une poche de recueil qui est mise en coopération avec le support par un dispositif de raccordement."two pieces", comprising a support intended to be fixed to the skin of a patient, for example by gluing, and a collection bag which is placed in cooperation with the support by a connecting device.
Parmi les nombreux dispositifs de raccordement des appareillages du type "deux pièces", l'invention concerne le type général dans lequel le support et la poche de recueil ont chacun un anneau, et les anneaux sont tenus l'un contre l'autre par un dispositif de fermeture latérale.Among the numerous devices for connecting equipment of the "two-piece" type, the invention relates to the general type in which the support and the collection bag each have a ring, and the rings are held against each other by a lateral closing device.
On connaît déjà, d'après le document WO 91/01 118, un dispositif de raccordement possédant un anneau fendu de sec- tion interne en V qui chevauche deux pièces en biseau et empêche ainsi celles-ci de s'écarter. L ' étanchéité entre le support et la poche est réalisée par une lèvre qui se déplace contre une surface cylindrique d'axe perpendiculaire au plan de raccordement. L'anneau de chevauchement est formé en une seule pièce et constitue une sorte de segment élastique qui peut être tenu en position fermée par un dispositif de retenue .It is already known from WO 91/01118 that a splicing device has a V-shaped internal split ring which overlaps two bevelled pieces and thereby prevents them from moving apart. The seal between the support and the bag is formed by a lip which moves against a cylindrical surface axis perpendicular to the connection plane. The overlap ring is formed in one piece and is a kind of elastic segment that can be held in the closed position by a retainer.
Le document EP-433 102 concerne un dispositif de raccordement dans lequel un organe extérieur en forme d'anneau fendu délimite une gorge arrondie tournée vers l'intérieur ; lorsque l'anneau est resserré, sa gorge vient s'appliquer latéralement contre une partie arrondie d' étanchéité par déplacement dans le plan de raccordement. L'anneau fendu est tenu en position de serrage par déplacement d'un bras muni de dents qui coopèrent avec des dents de l'anneau fendu.EP-433 102 relates to a connecting device in which an outer member in the form of split ring delimits a rounded groove facing inwards; when the ring is tightened, its groove is applied laterally against a rounded portion of sealing by displacement in the connection plane. The split ring is held in the clamping position by moving an arm provided with teeth that cooperate with teeth of the split ring.
Le document US-5 026 360 décrit un dispositif de raccordement possédant un anneau de section interne en V qui chevauche deux pièces en biseau et empêche ainsi celles-ci de s'écarter. L'anneau est formé de deux parties en demi- cercle articulées l ' une sur l ' autre à une extrémité . L ' étanchéité entre le support et la poche est réalisée par une lèvre qui se déplace contre une arête d'une surface cylindrique d'axe perpendiculaire au plan de raccordement. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'une des parties en demi-cercle de 1 ' anneau de chevauchement est formée en une seule pièce avec la partie de raccord du support ou de la poche , de sorte que le raccord ne comporte que deux pièces . Les extrémités des deux parties en demi-cercle de l'anneau opposées à leur articulation sont tenues en position fermée par un dispositif de retenue .US-5,026,360 discloses a connecting device having a V-shaped internal section ring which overlaps two bevelled pieces and thereby prevents them from moving apart. The ring is formed of two half-circle parts hinged to one another at one end. The seal between the support and the bag is made by a lip which moves against an edge of a cylindrical surface axis perpendicular to the connection plane. In In one embodiment, one of the half-circle portions of the overlap ring is integrally formed with the connecting portion of the holder or pocket, so that the fitting has only two pieces. The ends of the two semicircular portions of the ring opposite to their articulation are held in the closed position by a retaining device.
Ces dispositifs de raccordement présentent tous des inconvénients . Les deux premiers sont complexes et coûteux . Le premier des trois dispositifs précités a un anneau fendu de grande largeur qui donne une rigidité importante . De même, le dispositif du second document précité nécessite une cage relativement importante de guidage de l ' anneau fendu . Le dispositif du troisième document assure l ' étanchéité par insertion d'une lèvre dépassant d'un anneau dans une ouverture cylindrique de l'autre anneau, de sorte que la coopération étanche nécessite le maintien de la lèvre dans un plan, et donc des anneaux rigides. Ainsi, toutes ces réalisations sont relativement rigides et épaisses et ne sont donc pas favorables au confort de l'utilisateur à cause de leur manque de souplesse.These connecting devices all have disadvantages. The first two are complex and expensive. The first of the three aforementioned devices has a split ring of large width which gives significant rigidity. Similarly, the device of the aforementioned second document requires a relatively large cage for guiding the split ring. The device of the third document ensures the sealing by insertion of a lip protruding from one ring into a cylindrical opening of the other ring, so that the tight cooperation requires the maintenance of the lip in a plane, and therefore rings rigid. Thus, all these achievements are relatively rigid and thick and are therefore not favorable to the user's comfort because of their lack of flexibility.
Cependant, les dispositifs de ce type ont des propriétés avantageuses. Ainsi, ils permettent un positionnement relatif des deux parties par un élément fixe, si bien qu'un utilisateur est rassuré sur la réalité de la coopération de ces deux parties . En outre , ces dispositifs non seulement assurent un encliquetage positif, mais encore permettent la confirmation de la coopération à l'utilisateur par le toucher et par le bruit créé à l' encliquetage . En conséquence, l'invention concerne un dispositif de raccordement qui conserve les propriétés avantageuses précitées de ce type d'appareillage "deux pièces", tout en évitant la complexité des dispositifs connus et en donnant un meilleur confort, grâce à la faible épaisseur et à la souplesse qui peuvent être ainsi obtenues.However, devices of this type have advantageous properties. Thus, they allow a relative positioning of the two parts by a fixed element, so that a user is reassured about the reality of the cooperation of these two parties. In addition, these devices not only provide a positive snap, but also allow the confirmation of the cooperation to the user by the touch and by the noise created when snapping. Accordingly, the invention relates to a connecting device which retains the aforementioned advantageous properties of this type of "two-piece" apparatus, while avoiding the complexity of the known devices and giving a better comfort, thanks to the small thickness and the flexibility that can be so obtained.

FIGS. 1 to 9 show various views of a connection device according to a first embodiment of the invention.
La figure 2 représente le support 10 d'un appareillage de type "deux pièces" selon l'invention. Le support 10 comprend une partie 12 d'un dispositif de raccordement selon l'invention, fixée à une rondelle 14 de gomme destinée à être collée à la peau d'un utilisateur, la face adhésive de la rondelle de gomme 14 étant protégée par un papier protecteur amovible 16. La rondelle de gomme délimite un orifice 18 destiné à entourer une stomie.Figure 2 shows the support 10 of a "two-piece" apparatus according to the invention. The support 10 comprises a portion 12 of a connecting device according to the invention, attached to a washer 14 of rubber intended to be glued to the skin of a user, the adhesive face of the rubber washer 14 being protected by a removable protective paper 16. The rubber washer defines an orifice 18 for surrounding a stoma.
Comme l'indique la figure 3, la partie 12 du dispositif de raccordement a une forme en cuvette et constitue essentiellement un anneau ayant une surface d' appui pratiquement dans un plan destiné à être le plan de raccordement du dispositif de raccordement. Cette surface d'appui porte à toute sa périphérie un joint d'étanchéité 20 qui forme donc une zone étanche continue autour de l ' orifice de passage de déchets . La première partie 12 du dispositif de raccordement est destinée à coopérer avec une seconde partie 22 solidaire d'une poche qui peut être séparée du support.As shown in FIG. 3, the portion 12 of the connecting device is bowl-shaped and essentially constitutes a ring having a bearing surface substantially in a plane intended to be the connection plane of the connecting device. This bearing surface carries at its entire periphery a seal 20 which therefore forms a continuous sealed zone around the waste passage opening. The first part 12 of the connecting device is intended to cooperate with a second portion 22 secured to a pocket that can be separated from the support.
Les figures 4 à 6 représentent plus en détail la seconde partie 22 du dispositif de raccordement. Cette seconde partie 22 a une forme annulaire et comprend un élément fixe 24 qui couvre une plage annulaire étendue, de l'ordre de 120" dans le cas considéré. L'élément fixe 24 porte, à ses extrémités, deux bras 26 et 28 qui constituent des éléments mobiles articulés sur lui. De préférence, les bras et l'élément fixe 24 sont obtenus en une seule pièce par moulage, avec le reste de la seconde partie 22. Comme l'indique la figure 5, le bras 28 se termine par un doigt élastique 30 qui peut s ' accrocher à une saillie 32 de l'autre bras 26. L'extrémité du doigt 30 forme une saillie 34 qui peut être accrochée par le bout d'un doigt d'un utilisateur qui veut écarter le doigt 30 pour ouvrir les deux bras lorsqu'ils sont tenus par le dispositif de retenue formé du doigt 30 et de la saillie 32. Le côté représenté sur les figures 4 et 5 est celui qui est tourné vers le support. La figure 6 représente l'autre côté. Cet autre côté comprend, dans le prolongement de l'élément fixe 24, une partie annulaire 36. Ainsi, une surface annulaire continue sur 360" est formée du côté de la poche. Une feuille imperméable de matière plastique de la poche peut être collée ou soudée à tout l'anneau 36, d'une manière étanche .Figures 4 to 6 show in more detail the second part 22 of the connecting device. This second part 22 has an annular shape and comprises a fixed element 24 which covers an extended annular range, of the order of 120 " in the case considered.The fixed element 24 carries, at its ends, two arms 26 and 28 which The arms and the fixed element 24 are obtained in one piece by molding, with the remainder of the second part 22. As shown in FIG. by an elastic finger 30 which can hook to a projection 32 of the other arm 26. The end of the finger 30 forms a projection 34 which can be hooked by the end of a finger of a user who wants to dismiss the finger 30 to open the two arms when held by the retaining device formed of the finger 30 and the projection 32. The side shown in Figures 4 and 5 is the one facing the support. This other side includes, as an extension of the fixed member 24, an annular portion 36. Thus, a continuous annular surface 360 "is formed on the side of the pocket. An impervious sheet of plastic material of the pocket may be glued or welded to the entire ring 36 in a sealed manner.
La figure 7 indique comment la seconde partie de raccord solidaire de la poche est approchée du support. Les bras 26 et 28 étant largement écartés, la poche est levée de manière que la seconde partie du dispositif de raccordement soit un peu au-dessous de la première partie 12 et que le bord inférieur de cette partie puisse venir contre l'élément fixe 24, dans la position de la figure 8. Comme l'indique la coupe de la figure 8, dans l'élément fixe 24, le bord de la première partie 12 peut être glissé dans l'espace délimité par l'élément fixe 24 ; cet espace a une hauteur inférieure à la somme de l ' épaisseur de la première partie 12 et du joint d' étanchéité 20 si bien que, lorsque la partie marginale de l'élément 12 est glissée dans l'élément fixe 24, le joint d' étanchéité vient au contact de la partie inclinée 38 de l'élément fixe 24 et vient à l'état comprimé vers le fond du logement délimité dans l ' élément fixe 24. A ce moment, seule la plage angulaire d'environ 120" introduite dans l'élément fixe 24 est tenue, car les bras 26 et 28 sont largement écartés.Figure 7 shows how the second integral connection portion of the pocket is approaching the support. The arms 26 and 28 being widely spaced apart, the bag is raised so that the second part of the connecting device is a little below the first part 12 and the lower edge of this part can come against the fixed element 24 in the position of Figure 8. As shown in the section of Figure 8, in the fixed member 24, the edge of the first portion 12 can be slid into the space defined by the fixed member 24; this space has a height less than the sum of the thickness of the first portion 12 and the seal 20 so that when the marginal portion of the member 12 is slid into the fixed member 24, the seal engages the inclined portion 38 of the fixed member. 24 and comes in the compressed state towards the bottom of the housing delimited in the fixed element 24. At this moment, only the angular range of about 120 " introduced into the fixed element 24 is held because the arms 26 and 28 are widely spread.
L'utilisateur n'a plus qu'à fermer les bras pour mettre en coopération le doigt 30 et la saillie 32, le support et la poche coopérant alors de manière étanche .The user only has to close the arms to engage the finger 30 and the projection 32, the support and the pocket then cooperating in a sealed manner.
Comme l ' indique la figure 9 , lorsque chaque bras tel que 28 se rapproche de la partie annulaire 36, sa surface inclinée 39 vient s'appliquer contre la partie annulaire 36 de sorte que cette partie annulaire 36 (et donc la seconde partie 22) est serrée contre la première partie 12 et contre le joint d' étanchéité 20, progressivement de l'articulation de chaque bras vers son extrémité opposée .As shown in FIG. 9, when each arm such as 28 approaches the annular portion 36, its inclined surface 39 is pressed against the annular portion 36 so that this annular portion 36 (and thus the second portion 22) is pressed against the first part 12 and against the seal 20, progressively from the articulation of each arm towards its opposite end.
Bien qu ' on ait indiqué sur la figure 9 que seule la surface 39 de bras destinée à venir au contact de la partie annulaire 36 était inclinée, il est clair que l'autre côté du bras peut aussi être incliné. L'essentiel est qu'un côté au moins soit incliné afin que le logement délimité à l'intérieur de chaque bras 26, 28 ait une forme en coin et transforme donc la force de fermeture du bras dans le plan de raccordement en une force de serrage des deux parties 12 , 22 en direction perpendiculaire à ce plan de raccordement.Although it is indicated in FIG. 9 that only the arm surface 39 intended to come into contact with the annular portion 36 is inclined, it is clear that the other side of the arm can also be inclined. The essential thing is that at least one side is inclined so that the housing defined inside each arm 26, 28 has a wedge shape and thus transforms the closing force of the arm in the connection plane into a force of clamping the two parts 12, 22 in the direction perpendicular to this connection plane.
On a décrit un premier mode de réalisation dans lequel 1 ' élément fixe et chacun des bras couvrent une plage angu- laire d'environ 120* . Cette caractéristique n'est pas indispensable. En effet, l'élément fixe peut avoir une dimension pratiquement nulle, les articulations des deux bras étant adjacentes, et chaque bras couvrant environ 180". Au contraire, il est possible d'utiliser un élément fixe cou- vrant pratiquement 180* et, dans ce cas, pouvant coopérer avec un seul bras qui s ' accroche sur une saillie de l ' extrémité de l ' élément fixe . Une caractéristique importante de ce premier mode de réalisation de l'invention est que la seconde partie, comprenant l'anneau 36 de fixation de la poche et les deux bras, peut être moulée en une seule pièce, si bien que la complexité du dispositif de raccordement est réduite puis- qu ' il ne comprend que deux éléments .There is described a first embodiment 1 wherein the fixed element and each of the arms cover a corner-lar range of about 120 °. This characteristic is not essential. Indeed, the fixed member may have a substantially zero dimension, the joints of the two arms being adjacent, and each arm spanning about 180 ". On the contrary, it is possible to use a stationary member covering substantially 180 ° and, in this case, can cooperate with a single arm that hangs on a projection of the end of the fixed element. An important feature of this first embodiment of the invention is that the second part, comprising the pocket attachment ring 36 and the two arms, can be molded in one piece, so that the complexity of the connection is reduced since it consists of only two elements.
Les figures 10 à 16 représentent diverses vues d'un dispositif de raccordement selon un second mode de réalisation de l ' invention . La figure 10 représente l'aspect général du dispositif de raccordement qui comporte, du côté de la poche, une partie de raccordement 40 et un élément mobile 54, et, du côté du support, une autre partie de raccordement 48.Figures 10 to 16 show various views of a connection device according to a second embodiment of the invention. FIG. 10 shows the general appearance of the connecting device which comprises, on the bag side, a connecting part 40 and a movable element 54, and, on the support side, another connecting part 48.
La partie de raccordement 40, représentée sur la figure 13, a une forme annulaire autour d'un trou 42, ayant une portion plate 44 et une portion en forme de gorge 46 ouvrant vers l'intérieur, représentée sur la figure 13. L'élément mobile 54, représenté sur la figure 14, forme un anneau continu qui comprend une portion plate 55 et une portion en forme de gorge 56. Une extrémité de la portion 56 porte un crochet 58 , et les deux extrémités ont une patte de manoeuvre 60.The connecting portion 40, shown in FIG. 13, has an annular shape around a hole 42, having a flat portion 44 and an inwardly opening groove portion 46, shown in FIG. movable element 54, shown in FIG. 14, forms a continuous ring which comprises a flat portion 55 and a throat-shaped portion 56. One end of the portion 56 carries a hook 58, and both ends have an operating lug 60 .
L'élément mobile 54 peut tourner d'un demi-tour pratiquement par rapport à la partie 40, la portion en forme de gorge 46 pouvant se loger dans la portion en forme de gorge 56. La partie 40 et l'élément mobile 54 sont maintenus en coopération pendant leur rotation par une lèvre 59 et des taquets 61 (figures 10 et 11) portés par la partie 40 afin qu'ils ne se séparent pas. La partie de raccordement 48 (figure 15) du côté du support a une forme annulaire autour d'un trou 49 ; elle n'est pas représentée sous forme séparée, mais est analogue à la partie 12 représentée sur la figure 3. Son flasque extérieur 50 porte un joint d'étanchéité 52 analogue au joint 20, mais possédant de préférence une lèvre centrale destinée à être en contact avec la surface de la portion plate 44 de l'autre partie de raccordement. Dans la position de raccordement représentée sur la figure 10, les portions en forme de gorge 46 et 56 sont décalées de 180", si bien qu'elles délimitent ensemble une gorge continue sur toute la circonférence, pour le logement du flasque 50 de la partie 48 et de la portion plate 44 de la partie 40. Cette disposition apparaît sur les figures 15 et 16. Cette position de raccordement est maintenue par le crochet 58 qui coopère avec un organe complémentaire 43 de la partie 40. Dans la position d'ouverture, non représentée, les portions en forme de gorge 46 et 56 sont logées l'une dans l'autre sur 180", si bien qu'elles laissent un secteur de 180" pour l'introduction du bord du flasque 50 de la partie 48 dans la portion en forme de gorge 46 et pour son extrac- tion. Lorsque le bord du flasque 50 de la partie 48 a été introduit dans la portion 46, l'élément mobile 54 est tourné à l'aide d'une patte de manoeuvre et vient chevaucher progressivement le flasque 50 et la portion plate 44 en les rapprochant avec écrasement du joint 52, jusqu'à enclenche- ment du crochet 58.The movable member 54 is rotatable about one-half turn substantially relative to the portion 40, the groove-shaped portion 46 being receivable in the groove portion 56. The portion 40 and the movable member 54 are held in cooperation during their rotation by a lip 59 and tabs 61 (Figures 10 and 11) carried by the portion 40 so that they do not separate. The connection portion 48 (FIG. 15) on the support side has an annular shape around a hole 49; it is not shown in separate form, but is similar to the portion 12 shown in Figure 3. Its outer flange 50 carries a seal 52 similar to the seal 20, but preferably having a central lip to be in position. contact with the surface of the flat portion 44 of the other connecting portion. In the connection position shown in FIG. 10, the groove-shaped portions 46 and 56 are offset by 180 " , so that together they define a continuous groove all around the circumference, to accommodate the flange 50 of the part. 48 and the flat portion 44 of the portion 40. This arrangement appears in Figures 15 and 16. This connection position is maintained by the hook 58 which cooperates with a complementary member 43 of the portion 40. In the open position , not shown, the groove portions 46 and 56 are housed one in the other 180 ", so that they leave a sector of 180" for the introduction of the edge of the flange 50 of the part 48 In the groove-shaped portion 46 and for its extraction, when the edge of the flange 50 of the portion 48 has been introduced into the portion 46, the movable member 54 is rotated by means of an operating lug. and gradually overlaps the flange 50 and the porti it is flat 44 by approaching them with crushing of the seal 52 until the hook 58 is engaged.
On note sur les figures 15 et 16 que l'étanchéité s'effectue sur les surfaces du flasque 50 et de la portion plate 44, et non à leur bord. Il est donc possible de déformer l ' ensemble du dispositif de raccordement par rapport au plan de raccordement sans perdre l'étanchéité. Le dispositif de raccordement peut donc être souple, cette souplesse pouvant être accrue par amincissement local en direction radiale .It is noted in Figures 15 and 16 that the sealing is effected on the surfaces of the flange 50 and the flat portion 44, and not on their edge. It is therefore possible to deform the entire connection device relative to the connection plane without losing the seal. The connection device can therefore be flexible, this flexibility can be increased by local thinning in the radial direction.
En outre, comme l ' indique la partie inclinée portant la référence 57 sur la figure 14, la gorge formée dans la portion 56 a une largeur qui diminue sur une courte distance vers l'intérieur et reste constante ensuite. Ainsi, le joint d' étanchéité, lorsqu'il pénètre, au fur et à mesure de la rotation de la partie mobile 54, dans la portion en forme de gorge 56, peut s'engager facilement, avant d'être bien serré entre les parois de la gorge. Cette compression progressive du joint facilite l'obtention d'une bonne étanchéité. La force de cette compression est en outre renforcée par un épaississement 47 sur une courte distance de la partie plate 44, complémentaire de la diminution de largeur de la gorge . Les figures 17 et 18 représentent, en perspective et en élévation latérale, l'aspect général d'un dispositif de raccordement selon un troisième mode de réalisation de 1 ' invention .Further, as indicated by the inclined portion 57 in Fig. 14, the groove formed in the portion 56 has a width which decreases for a short distance inwards and remains constant thereafter. Thus, the seal, as it penetrates, as and when the movable portion 54 rotates, in the groove portion 56, can easily engage, before being tight between the walls of the throat. This progressive compression of the seal facilitates obtaining a good seal. The strength of this compression is further enhanced by a thickening 47 over a short distance from the flat portion 44, complementary to the decrease in width of the groove. Figures 17 and 18 show, in perspective and in side elevation, the general appearance of a connection device according to a third embodiment of the invention.
Par rapport au second mode de réalisation, l'élément mobile 54 en forme d'anneau délimitant une gorge sur 180* est remplacé par un demi-anneau 64 délimitant aussi une gorge sur 180 " et mobile en translation radiale par rapport à une partie de raccordement analogue à la partie 40 du second mode de réalisation en ce qu ' elle comporte une por- tion en forme de gorge 46' analogue à celle du second mode de réalisation .With respect to the second embodiment, the movable element 54 in the form of a ring delimiting a groove on 180 * is replaced by a half-ring 64 also delimiting a groove on 180 "and movable in radial translation with respect to a portion of similar connection to part 40 of the second embodiment in that it has a groove portion 46 'similar to that of the second embodiment.
Sur les figures 17 et 18, les extrémités de la portion en forme de gorge 46' sont munies chacune d'un axe 62 d'orientation radiale. Le demi-anneau 64 comporte deux doigts 66 prolongeant tangentiellement chaque extrémité du demi-anneau 64 et ayant une fente allongée 68 de guidage de l'élément mobile sur les axes 62. De cette manière, le demi- anneau peut être déplacé en translation radiale, à l'aide d'une patte de manoeuvre 68, entre une position d'ouverture indiquée sur la figure 18, dans laquelle le demi-anneau peut pivoter autour des axes 52 pour s ' écarter du plan de raccordement, et une position de chevauchement indiquée sur la figure 17, dans laquelle le demi-anneau 64 chevauche les bords des deux parties de raccordement, d'une manière ana- logue à la représentation de la figure 15.In Figures 17 and 18, the ends of the groove portion 46 'are each provided with a shaft 62 of radial orientation. The half-ring 64 comprises two fingers 66 extending tangentially each end of the half-ring 64 and having an elongate slot 68 for guiding the movable element on the pins 62. In this way, the half-ring can be displaced in radial translation. by means of an operating bracket 68, between an open position indicated in FIG. 18, in which the half-ring can pivot about the axes 52 so as to deviate from the connection plane, and a position of overlap shown in Fig. 17, wherein the half-ring 64 overlaps the edges of the two connecting portions in a manner similar to the representation of Fig. 15.
Les figures 19 à 21 représentent une variante du mode de réalisation des figures 10 à 16. On a utilisé des références identiques à celles de ce mode de réalisation pour désigner des parties analogues , suivies du signe " . La variante des figures 19 à 21 comporte divers perfectionnements utiles pour l ' utilisateur . Des ailes de manoeuvre 70 dépassent de la portion en forme de gorge 46" . Elles sont destinées à faciliter la tenue de cette portion 46" .FIGS. 19 to 21 show a variant of the embodiment of FIGS. 10 to 16. Identical references to those of this embodiment have been used to designate analogous parts, followed by the sign ".The variant of FIGS. various improvements useful for the user. Maneuvering wings 70 protrude from the groove portion 46 "and are intended to facilitate the holding of this portion 46".
Des creux 72 délimitent des amincissements diamétrale- ment opposés de la partie de raccordement 40" permettant le pliage du dispositif suivant l'axe X-X, pour faciliterHoles 72 delimit diametrically opposed thinning of the connecting portion 40 "allowing the device to be folded along the X-X axis to facilitate
1 ' insertion de la partie de raccordement de la poche dans la partie de raccordement du support.Inserting the connection portion of the pocket into the connection portion of the support.
Ce perfectionnement peut s ' appliquer à tous les modes de réalisation décrits. Par exemple, des creux analogues aux creux 72 sont visibles sur les figures 10 à 13.This improvement can be applied to all the described embodiments. For example, depressions similar to the recesses 72 are visible in FIGS. 10 to 13.
Le joint d'étanchéité 52" est tenu sur le flasque extérieur 50" de l'autre partie de raccordement 48" par passage ponctuel du matériau du joint 74 dans des trous du flasque 50". Le joint est alors formé sur le flasque 50" par surmoulage .The seal 52 "is held on the outer flange 50" of the other connecting portion 48 "by passing the seal material 74 in holes in the flange 50". The seal is then formed on the flange 50 "by overmolding.
Une patte de manoeuvre 60 est remplacée par une patte de manoeuvre 76 qui facilite l'ouverture du crochet de blocage 58" . Une caractéristique essentielle de l'invention est le fait que l ' étanchéité est obtenue par un joint serré entre deux pièces planes constituées par les surfaces d'appui des deux parties du dispositif de raccordement. L 'étanchéité ainsi obtenue est très efficace. La force de serrage néces- saire est obtenue par transformation, par l'élément mobile de chaque mode de réalisation, de la force exercée dans le plan de raccordement, par pivotement, rotation ou translation, en une force perpendiculaire au plan de raccordement. L'avantage de cette transformation est de permettre à l'uti- lisateur d'obtenir le serrage des première et seconde parties l ' une contre l ' autre sans devoir exercer une force directe perpendiculaire au plan de raccordement. En effet, cette force directe perpendiculaire au plan de raccordement se transmettrait nécessairement sur la stomie au-dessous du support et causerait de l ' inconfort et même de la douleur, surtout en période post-opératoire immédiate. An operating lug 60 is replaced by an operating lug 76 which facilitates the opening of the locking hook 58. An essential feature of the invention is the fact that the seal is obtained by a tight seal between two flat parts made of by the bearing surfaces of the two parts of the connecting device The tightness thus obtained is very efficient The necessary clamping force is obtained by transforming the force exerted by the movable element of each embodiment. in the connection plane, by pivoting, rotation or translation, in a force perpendicular to the connection plane, the advantage of this transformation is that it allows the user to obtain the tightening of the first and second parts, against the other without having to exert a direct force perpendicular to the connection plane, since this direct force perpendicular to the connection plane would necessarily be transmitted on the stoma below the support and cause discomfort and even pain, especially in the immediate postoperative period.
