A collection, storage and disposal system for human wastes. An externally positionable patient interface directs wastes through a conduit to a storage container. Accumulated wastes are sealed within the storage container to prevent cross-contamination. The patient interface is extendable through an aperture formed within a seat portion of a support structure which can be converted between bed and chair configurations. A mattress has a foam insert which may be selectively inflated to maintain desired supporting pressure for the patient and to provide a resilient support surface should deflation of the mattress occur.

A system is provided for the collection, storage and disposal of human wastes. An externally positionable patient interface directs wastes to a storage container. Accumulated wastes are sealed within the storage container to prevent cross-contamination. The patient interface is extendible through an aperture formed within a seat portion of a support structure which can be converted between bed and chair configurations. A mattress includes a permeable core and an air-impermeable covering bonded to the core. The mattress is inflatable to provide the desired supporting pressure for the patient and also to assist in positioning the patient in relation to the aperture and the patient interface.

A disposable, one-piece locking clip may be snapped onto a dispensing pump directly below the depressible head thereof for the purpose of blocking depression of the head so long as the clip is in place. The clip may be attached to and serve as an overlock for a permanent, selectively operable lock intended to remain with the pump indefinitely as a way of preventing accidental fluid discharge during periods of nonuse, the clip in that event serving as a means for preventing access to the permanent lock. The specific manner in which the clip is snap-fitted in place is unexposed and virtually nonaccessible so as to prevent removal of the clip or actuation of the pump without first pulling a break tab that splits the clip in half and releases the same from the pump.

The reciprocable plunger of the pump has a valve sleeve which circumscribes the plunger and shifts relative to the latter between port opening and port closing positions in response to telescopic depression and extension of the plunger within its receiving barrel. That portion of the plunger circumscribed by the sleeve is necked down and provided with the port that communicates the discharge passage of the plunger with liquid in the barrel. The sleeve is generally hyperbolic in longitudinal cross-section, having an inner surface which is generally complimentally received within the neck of the plunger. A pair of radially outwardly extending, annular steps in such inner surface on opposite sides of the port define a pair of corresponding shoulders on the inner surface that are disposed to engage oppositely tapering sections of the plunger neck during movement of the sleeve between its port opening and port closing positions, thereby to effect such opening and closing of the port. The plunger is of two part construction at its neck, having a detachable tip that serves as a retainer for the sleeve and which is symmetrically constructed so that it may be inverted end-for-end during assembly without adversely affecting the operation of the pump.
