Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 24
Claim 1
Independent Claim
163 words
An ostomy appliance comprising a flexible collection pouch and a flexible, apertu red faceplate adapted to be adhesively secured to a peristomal surface, and a pair of first and second semi-rigid coupling rings detachably connectable to each other, said first coupling ring being secured to said pouch and communicating with the interior thereof, and said second coupling ring being mounted upon said faceplate adjaceritthe aperture thereof, said second ring being mounted upon said faceplate by means of a flexible annular plastics web having a pair of concentric edge portions, one of said edge portions being connected to said second ring and the other of said edge portions being connected to said faceplate aboutthe aperture thereof, said flexible web allowing limited movement of said second ring in generally axial directions with respectto said faceplate to facilitate attachment and detachment of said rings without causing wearer discomfort andto allow conformity of said flexible faceplate to a wearer's body without objectionable resistance from said semi-rigid rings.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
163 words
An ostomy appliance comprising a flexible collection pouch and a flexible, apertu red faceplate adapted to be adhesively secured to a peristomal surface, and a pair of first and second semi-rigid coupling rings detachably connectable to each other, said first coupling ring being secured to said pouch and communicating with the interior thereof, and said second coupling ring being mounted upon said faceplate adjaceritthe aperture thereof, said second ring being mounted upon said faceplate by means of a flexible annular plastics web having a pair of concentric edge portions, one of said edge portions being connected to said second ring and the other of said edge portions being connected to said faceplate aboutthe aperture thereof, said flexible web allowing limited movement of said second ring in generally axial directions with respectto said faceplate to facilitate attachment and detachment of said rings without causing wearer discomfort andto allow conformity of said flexible faceplate to a wearer's body without objectionable resistance from said semi-rigid rings.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim

Claim 10
Dependent Claim
152 words
An ostomy appliance comprising a flexible collection pouch and a flexible, apertu red faceplate adapted to be adhesively secured to a peristornal body surface, and a pair of first and second semi-rigid coupling rings detachably connectable to each other, said first coupling ring being secured to said pouch and communicating with the interior thereof, and said second coupling ring being mounted upon said faceplate about said aperture, said second ring being mounted upon said faceplate by means of a thin, resilient, thermoplastic annularweb having inner and outer concentric edge portions, said second ring also including a radially and circumferentially extending annularflange portion projecting outwardly beyond said first ring when said coupling rings are connected to each other, said outer edge portion of said web being secured to said flange portion adjaceritthe outer periphery thereof and said inner edge portion of said web being secured to said faceplate about and adjacentto said aperture.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
152 words
