     Referring to  FIGS. 1-4 and 6 , in order to assemble the locking members  33 , the resilient members  40 , and the supporting feet  50  to the display  10 , the resilient members  40  are placed around the rods  333  of the locking members  33 . The locking members  33  are received in the receiving portions  113  of the rear plate  11 , with the protrusions  3311  facing rearward. The hooks  1131  engage with a front side of the locking members  33 . The rods  333  of the locking members  33  engage in the through holes  1133  of the receiving portions  113 . The resilient members  40  are sandwiched between the main bodies  331  and the top walls of the receiving portions  113 , to urge the locking members  33  to slide downward. The extending plates  3351  extend through the through slots  312  of the rear plate  11 , and the blocking plates  3353  engage with an inner wall of the bottom of the rear plate  11 . The slanted surfaces  3313  of the protrusions  3311  of the locking members  33  faces towards the fixing holes  311  of the fixing portions  31 . 
     The latching posts  5511  of the rotating assemblies  55  of the supporting feet  50  are moved to extend through the fixing holes  311  and slid into the receiving portions  113  of the rear plate  11 . The latching posts  5511  abut against the slanted surfaces  3313  of the locking members  33 , and move the locking members  33  upwards to deform the resilient members  40 . The latching posts  5511  are further slid into the receiving portions  113 . When the latching slots  5512  of the latching posts  5511  align with the protrusions  3311 , the resilient members  40  are restored to move the locking members  33  down, to allow the protrusions  3311  to engage in the latching slots  5512 . Thereby, the supporting feet  50  are fixed to the display  10 . The pivot portions  515  are received in the recesses  111 . The display  10  is supported by the supporting feet  50 , and is easy and stable to rotate to another pitching angle. 
     When the extending plates  3351  of the locking members  33  are pressed upward, the protrusions  3311  are disengaged from the latching slots  5512 . Then, the latching posts  5511  are moved along the unlocking recesses  3315 , and exit out of the receiving portions  113  and the fixing holes  311 . Thereby, the supporting feet  50  are easily to be detached from the display  10 . 
     It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the embodiments have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the embodiments, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in the matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
