Abstract
A coupling assembly for an ostomy appliance that has a locking arrangement, a first coupling and a second coupling. The locking arrangement has a locking ring and first and second grips mounted to the locking ring. The locking ring is mounted to first and/or second coupling, forms an inner circumference and is adjustable between locked and unlocked configurations. In the locked configuration the locking ring is for maintaining the first and second couplings in a coupled configuration and the inner circumference is less than in the unlocked configuration. The first and second grips are positioned about the locking ring to be moveable towards one another to increase the inner circumference and adjust the locking ring from the locked configuration to the unlocked configuration.
