First Claim
1. A colostomy aid of the character described, comprising an inner housing, said inner housing consists of a stainless steel tube having a rectangular opening in a wall thereof, and an integrally formed flange extending outward from one end of the said tube, the said flange having two diametrically opposed rectangular lugs extending outward therefrom;
- an outer housing encompassing the said inner housing, the said outer housing consists of a stainless steel tube encompassing the said tube of the said inner housing, the tube of the said outer housing being considerably larger in diameter than that of the tube of the said inner housing, and the wall of the said tube of the said outer housing having a large rectangular recess therein that is in line with the rectangular opening in the tube of the said inner housing, the said outer housing also having two diametrically opposed rectangular lugs that are the same size as that of the lugs of the said inner housing, the lugs of the said outer housing fitting down on top of the lugs of the said inner housing when the invention is assembled; and

Abstract
This invention consists of a stainless steel vertically disposed inner housing having a tubular member with a rectangular opening in the wall thereof. The aforesaid tubular member is provided with a flange with two opposed rectangular lugs on the bottom thereof that are contoured to the abdomen of a person. An outer housing having a second vertically disposed tubular member considerably larger in diameter than that of the first mentioned tubular member encompasses the first mentioned tubular member. The second mentioned tubular member has its wall cut away to expose the aforesaid rectangular opening in the wall of the first mentioned tubular member. The second mentioned tubular member has an integrally formed horizontally disposed top having a round opening in the center thereof and two opposed rectangular lugs integrally formed on the bottom of the aforesaid vertically disposed wall, the aforesaid lugs being of the same size and contour as that of the first mentioned lugs. The aforesaid lugs in both the lower and the upper rectangular members have matching rectangular openings therein for the reception of a metal snap fastener having an elastic belt that encompasses the body of the person on which this invention is placed. A clear rectangular plastic drain tube has one end encompassing the first mentioned tubular member and is held in place by the second mentioned tubular member. A gasket is located between the lugs of the two members and a gasket spring and plunger, having a vertically disposed tubular member, is located in the center of the device. The aforesaid tubular member has a plastic enema tube extending outward from the top thereof.
