Claim:
1. A urinal coupling device, comprising: a pair of support members, each support member comprising a pair of ears on said each support member proximate said opposite ends of said main portion of said each support member, each ear of said pair being rigidly connected with one of said opposite lateral portions of said each support member such that said ears extend in opposite directions with respect to one another from said opposite lateral portions of said each support member, said each ear also having a pair of opposite side faces and being of a thickness the same as the thickness of the rigidly connected one of said opposite lateral portions of said support member such that said respective opposite side faces of said ears and said opposite lateral portions of said support member are substantially co-planar with one another and co-planar with one of said opposite side faces of said main portion of said support member and recessed from the other of said opposite side faces of said main portion of said support member; wherein said support members are pivotally interconnected together at a single location on an adjacent one pair of said opposite lateral portions of said support members at a corresponding one of said opposite ends of said main portions of said support members so as to undergo pivoting, relative to one another solely along a common plane, about said single location between an opened position, in which said support members are angularly displaced apart, and a closed position, in which corresponding ones of said pairs of opposite lateral portions of said support members with said rigidly connected pairs of said ears at said corresponding opposite ends of said main portions of said support members are engaged with one another such that said corresponding ones of said pairs of opposite lateral portions with said rigidly connected pairs of said ears are located side-by-side one another and such that said pairs of ears define a pair of urinal mounting bolt slots; also wherein said respective co-planar and recessed relationships of said opposite side faces of said opposite lateral portions of said support members, and said rigidly connected adjacent pairs of ears, with said opposite side faces of said main portions of said support members enable abutting of respective adjacent ones of said opposing pair of said ears against corresponding ones of said ends of said main portions of said support members at said opened and closed positions of said support members and such that said pairs of ears define said urinal mounting bolt slots upon reaching said closed position.
