[0004] Patent Document 1 Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3146835 Summary of Invention Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] By the way, the above belt is used by passing the belt main body through the hole at the base of the clip portion, but since the hole is exposed, there is a problem that it comes into contact with the body of the belt wearer, causing pain and discomfort.

[0006] Accordingly, in view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a clip portion cover for a stoma appliance fixing belt that prevents the clip portion of the stoma appliance fixing belt from coming into contact with the wearer's body and causing pain. Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] One form of the clip portion cover for a stoma appliance fixing belt disclosed is characterized in that clip portions are arranged at both ends for clamping and fixing the tabs of a stoma appliance, the clip portions have holes at their bases, and the belt body is used by passing the belt body through the holes in the clip portions, the width of the holes in the clip portions being greater than the width of the belt body, the cover having a cylindrical shape with holes at both ends, the size of one hole in the cover being larger than the hole in the clip portion, and the size of the other hole in the cover being smaller than the hole in the clip portion. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] The disclosed clip cover for the ostomy appliance fixing belt prevents the clip portion of the ostomy appliance fixing belt from coming into contact with the wearer's body and causing pain. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0009] [Figure 1] This figure shows a stoma appliance according to this embodiment. [Figure 2] This figure shows the fixing belt for the ostomy appliance according to this embodiment. [Figure 3] This figure shows the clip cover of the ostomy appliance fixing belt according to this embodiment. [Figure 4] This figure shows an example of the use of the clip cover of the ostomy appliance fixing belt according to this embodiment. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0010] The embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. (Structure of the clip cover of the ostomy appliance fixing belt according to this embodiment)

[0011] The structure of the clip cover (hereinafter simply referred to as "this device") 1 for the ostomy appliance fixing belt according to this embodiment will be explained using Figures 1 to 4. Figure 1 is a diagram showing an example of an ostomy appliance 14, and Figure 2 is a diagram showing an example of an ostomy appliance fixing belt 18. Figure 3 is a diagram for explaining the structure of this device 1, and Figure 4 is a diagram showing an example of the use of this device 1.

[0012] As shown in Figure 1, the stoma appliance 14 is a device that collects excrement such as feces and urine discharged from the stoma. The stoma appliance 14 has a pressure ring attached integrally for connecting to the faceplate, and the pressure ring is provided with a tab 16.

[0013] As shown in Figure 2, the ostomy appliance fixing belt 18 has a belt body portion 20 and clip portions 22. The clip portions 22 are located at both ends of the ostomy appliance fixing belt 18 and are for clamping and fixing the tabs 16 of the ostomy appliance 14. The ostomy appliance fixing belt 18 is a belt for fixing the ostomy appliance 14 to the wearer's body.

[0014] A hole 24 is provided at the base of the clip portion 22, and the ostomy appliance fixing belt 18 is used by passing the belt body portion 20 through the hole 24 of the clip portion 22, and the overall length can be adjusted according to the length of the belt body portion 20 that passes through the hole 24. Therefore, the width of the hole 24 of the clip portion 22 is larger than the width of the belt body portion 20, and the edge of the hole 24 of the clip portion 22 is exposed.

[0015] Furthermore, if the ostomy appliance fixing belt 18 is used without this device 1, the exposed area may come into contact with the body of the person wearing the fixing belt, causing pain or discomfort.

[0016] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the present device 1 has a tubular shape provided with holes 2 and 8 at both ends, and is a device for covering the clip portion 22 (particularly the hole 24 of the clip portion 22) of the ostomy appliance fixing belt 18. It should be noted that in order for the ostomy appliance fixing belt 18 fitted with the present device 1 to perform its original function, the present device 1 covers the periphery of the hole 24 of the clip portion 22, and is used in such a manner that the portion (clip) at the tip of the clip portion 22 for clamping and fixing the tab 16 is exposed.

[0017] As shown in Figure 3, one hole 2 of the present device 1 is a portion that serves as an inlet when the clip portion 22 is passed through the present device 1, and the size (width) of the one hole 2 of the present device 1 is larger than the size (width) of the hole 24 of the clip portion 22.

[0018] Further, as shown in Figure 3, the other hole 8 of the present device 1 is a portion that serves as an outlet when the clip portion 22 is passed through the present device 1, and the size (width) of the other hole 8 of the present device 1 is smaller than the size (width) of the hole 24 of the clip portion 22.

[0019] With the structure of these holes 2 and 8, the present device 1 does not impede the function of the clip portion 22 (ostomy appliance fixing belt 18) by allowing the tip of the clip portion 22 to pass through the other hole 8 and extend out of the present device 1. In addition, the present device 1 allows the hole 24 of the clip portion 22 to pass through the one hole 2 but not through the other hole 8, so that the hole 24 of the clip portion 22 can be retained inside the present device 1.

[0020] Thus, the present device 1 prevents the hole 24 of the clip portion 22 from being exposed, thereby preventing the hole 24 of the clip portion 22 from coming into contact with the wearer's body and causing pain.

[0021] As shown in Figure 3, the one hole 2 is provided with a step on its upper side 4 and lower side 6. This structure is intended to facilitate insertion of the tip of the clip portion 22 into the present device 1.

[0022] Further, as shown in Figure 3, the other hole portion 8 is provided with a step on its upper side 10 and lower side 12. This structure is intended to allow the ostomy appliance fixing belt 18 fitted with the present instrument 1 to exhibit its original function, and facilitates the opening and closing operation of the tip of the clip portion 22.

[0023] Based on the structure as described above, the present instrument 1 covers only the periphery of the hole portion 24 of the clip portion 22 provided on the ostomy appliance fixing belt 18, and prevents the clip portion 22 of the fixing belt 18 for the ostomy appliance 14 from contacting the wearer's body and causing pain. (Method for using the clip portion cover for an ostomy appliance fixing belt according to the present embodiment)

[0024] A method of using the present instrument 1 will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 4. As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the tip of the clip portion 22 of the ostomy appliance fixing belt 18 is inserted into one hole portion 2 (inlet) of the present instrument 1, and the other hole portion 8 (outlet) of the present instrument 1 is also passed through, so that the hole portion 24 of the clip portion 22 is placed in a state of being retained inside the present instrument 1. The user of the present instrument 1 performs the same operation on both ends of the ostomy appliance fixing belt 18.

[0025] After the fitting of the present instrument 1 to both ends of the ostomy appliance fixing belt 18 is completed, the user clamps the tab 16 of the ostomy appliance 14 with the clip portions 22 of the ostomy appliance fixing belt 18, and fixes the positional relationship between the belt 18 and the ostomy appliance 14.

[0026] By the usage method as described above, the present instrument 1 covers only the periphery of the hole portion 24 of the clip portion 22 provided on the ostomy appliance fixing belt 18, and prevents the clip portion 22 of the fixing belt 18 for the ostomy appliance 14 from contacting the wearer's body and causing pain.

[0027] While the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to such specific embodiments, and various modifications and changes are possible within the scope of the gist of the present invention described in the claims.
