Abstract: A urinal stand construction includes a relatively heavy pedestal base, a tubular body secured to the base and a urinal holder supported at the upper end of the tubular body releasably holding a urinal member at the bedside of a patient. The urinal holder consists in a thin, circular retaining plate having vertically disposed resilient clip portions occurring in spaced relation around the outer edge of the retaining plate. At its central portion the plate is formed with a conically shaped hollow fitting engageable in an upper end of the tubular body. The parts noted are detachably secured together by an elongated bolt member and hexaginal nuts occurring in recessed relationship in the conically shaped fitting in the bottom of the pedestal base.
