Abstract: A device for emptying an ostomy bag includes a pair of elongate members, each having bag engagement members and first and second ends. The elongate members are adapted to extend substantially across a width of the ostomy bag. A hinge member is in cooperative engagement with the second ends of the elongate members and gripping members are provided at the first ends of the elongate members. The pair of elongate members are moveable from an open position where the elongate members extend outwardly from the hinge member away from each other and a closed position wherein the elongate members are generally parallel to each other.

Abstract: A pool filling nozzle is provided with a supporting bracket and a clamp to secure the nozzle to the top of a swimming pool wall or to a pool accessory such as a ladder step, a platform or a diving board. The bracket is L-shaped defining a top horizontal arm on which the nozzle is secured and a vertical arm provided with a central slot. The clamp is also L-shaped and defines a vertical arm in slidable guided contact with the vertical arm of the bracket and a horizontal arm extending substantially parallel and in the same direction to the horizontal arm of the bracket. A tightened releasably tightens the two vertical arms in adjusted position to adjust the spacing between the two horizontal arms. The clamp is reversible. Thus, the nozzle can be clamped to a swimming pool parts of a large range of thickness. The bracket and the clamp are preferably made of thin flexible material so that the two horizontal arms can be opened to easily clip the bracket to the pool part.
