Claim 5

The colostomy irrigation device of claim 1 wherein said openings comprise two pairs of arcuate openings extending around the periphery of said conical outside surface, each pair being diagonally positioned from the other.

Claim 6

The colostomy irrigation device of claim 4 wherein each pair of openings comprises a small opening of sufficient size to receive only the hook end of a buckle and said stem extends only a portion of the body''s length.

Claim 7

A colostomy irrigation device comprising in combination: a body having, a conical outside surface defining a smaller inner end adapted to engage various sized stoma openings in the abdomen of a patient and a large outer end, an outwardly projecting central coaxially positioned stem formed integral with the small inner end of the conical outer surface of the body and projecting outwardly of the large outer end of said body, and a bore in said stem arranged to receive at the body''s smaller inner end in sliding fluid tight arrangement a catheter tube for insertion into a colon of the patient, said body being provided with openings diagonally positioned along the larger end of its conical outer surface for receiving buckles of a belt.

Claim 8

A colostomy irrigation device comprising in combination: a body having, a conical outside surface defining a smaller inner end adapted to engage various sized stoma openings in the abdomen of a patient and a large outer end, an outwardly projecting central coaxially positioned stem formed integral with the small inner end of the conical outer surface of the body and projecting outwardly of the large outer end of said body, and a bore in said stem arranged to receive at the body''s smaller inner end in sliding fluid tight arrangement a catheter tube for insertion into a colon of the patient, said body being provided with openings diagonally positioned along the larger end of its conical outer surface for receiving buckles of a belt.

Claim 9

The colostomy irrigation device of claim 1 wherein the conical outside surface is provided with a rim at Its larger end having a surface turned outwardly to overlap an opening in a patient, and said openings are positioned adjacent said rim within the conical outside surface of said body.

Claim 10

The colostomy irrigation device of claim 1 in further combination with a belt of adjustable length having a buckle at each end, each of said buckles having a hook end for hooking through a pair of said openings.

Claim 11
