Abstract

An article (1; 100) for collecting the urine (300) and stools (400) of a user comprises a support rim (10A) for supporting the buttocks of the user and a chamber (20) which communicates with an opening (10E) delimited by the support edge (10A), and which has a base part (22) and a spacing means (10) able to maintain the base part at a distance from the support rim. The article comprises an internal partition element (23; 123) which is located at a position vertically partway between the support rim (10A) and the base part (22) and which is able to adopt a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration, the internal partition element forms an obstacle to substantially prevent the passage of stools (400) to the base while maintaining a communication for the urine (300). In the second configuration, the obstacle is substantially removed so as to allow the stools to pass to the base of the chamber (20).

Abstract

A pouch (10) includes: - a flexible casing (12), having an opening (12a) at one end; and - a safety valve, placed inside the casing (12) in order to substantially prevent the contents of the casing (12) from coming out through the opening (12a). The valve includes a first pair of sheets (22) and a second pair of sheets (24), locally connected to one another at a plurality of main connection points (25) spaced apart from each other, and a third pair of sheets (26). The first (22), second (24), and third (26) pair of sheets are locally connected to one another at a plurality of secondary connection points (27) spaced apart from each other. The distance between the main connection points (25) and the distal end of the sheets of the second pair of sheets (24) varies along a transverse direction (Dt) of the casing (12).

Abstract

The bag (10) comprises a flexible outer (12) having an opening (12A) the edge of which is fixed to the two opposing walls (20A, 20B) of a reinforcing sleeve (18) projecting out from the outer, the bag being able to adopt a flattened configuration in which the sleeve is folded along a main fold line (17) connecting the walls thereof so that said walls lie one against the other, and a configuration of use in which said walls form a canal that keeps the opening open. The main fold line (17) has an end portion (17A) opposite to the opening which is laterally further toward the outside so that in the configuration of use, the sleeve offers a spout delimited by said end portion.

Abstract

The invention relates to a pouch that includes a flexible casing (12) having an opening (12A), the edge of which is attached to the two opposite walls of a reinforcing sleeve (18) projecting outwardly from the casing. The pouch can assume a flattened configuration in which the walls of the sleeve are arranged against one another, and an operating configuration in which said walls form a channel that keeps the opening open. The first wall (20A) of the sleeve (18) has a first longitudinal end band (30A), whereas the second wall has a sliding edge (32B) capable of sliding against the inner surface of the first longitudinal band when the pouch shifts from the flattened configuration to the operating position thereof.
