A stand for a display device, such as a flat-panel display, selectively accommodates mounting surfaces having disparate orientations with improved stability and durability, to facilitate viewing of the flat-panel display in either of at least two physical states of orientation as necessary or desired, specifically, with respect to both horizontal and vertical mounting surfaces. The stand includes a pivoting arm for receiving the display device, the pivoting arm including a locking member having at least two locking devices; a support arm for receiving a base; and a locking release coupled to the pivoting arm by a pivot pin and coupled to the support arm by a releasing pin for loading an elastic member, the locking release including a lever having an upper end for receiving the pivot pin and a lower end for receiving the releasing pin and compressing the elastic member, the upper end including a set of locking devices formed in correspondence to the at least two locking devices of the locking member to enable a selective engagement between one of the locking devices of the lever and one of the locking devices of the locking member.

What is claimed is: 1. stand for a display device, the stand comprising: a pivoting arm for receiving the display device, said pivoting arm including a locking member having at least two locking devices; a support arm for receiving a base; and a locking release coupled to said pivoting arm by a piv
What is claimed is: 1. stand for a display device, the stand comprising: a pivoting arm for receiving the display device, said pivoting arm including a locking member having at least two locking devices; a support arm for receiving a base; and a locking release coupled to said pivoting arm by a pivot pin and coupled to said support arm by a releasing pin for loading an elastic member, said locking release including a lever having an upper end for receiving the pivot pin and a lower end for receiving the releasing pin and compressing the elastic member, the upper end including a set of locking devices formed in correspondence to the at least two locking devices of the locking member to enable a selective engagement between one of the locking devices of the lever and one of the locking devices of the locking member, wherein said lever is a retractable lever having at least one portion accommodated in an opening formed in the support arm, when the loading of the elastic member is released, and wherein the opening formed in said a sidewall of the support arm is a slotted opening extending from the releasing pin to the upper end of the lever and includes at one end a seat for receiving the releasing pin. 2. The stand of claim 1, further comprising: a base, coupled to a lower end of the support arm, said base providing a mounting surface for the stand. 3. The stand of claim 2, wherein the mounting surface is one of a horizontal surface and a vertical surface. 4. The stand of claim 1, further comprising: a first boss disposed at an upper end of said support arm; and an annular engagement device formed at an upper end of said lever and disposed in correspondence to the locking member, between said first boss and said pivoting arm, wherein the pivot pin is received by said first boss and is passed through each of said annular engagement device and the locking member to be secured to said pivot arm. 5. The stand of claim 4, wherein each of the at least two locking devices of the locking member comprises a locking recess for selectively engaging with a corresponding locking nodule formed on said annular engagement device. 6. he stand of claim 1, wherein one of the locking device of the locking member of said pivoting arm and the locking device of the lever of said locking release is a locking recess and the other is a locking nodule. 7. The stand of claim 1, said pivoting arm comprising: at least one support body having a first support link and a second support link, the first support link being configured to enable coupling to the display device and the second support link being fixed to the first support link. 8. The stand of claim 7, wherein the locking member is integrally formed with the second support link to oppose the upper end of the lever. 9. The stand of claim 1, wherein the elastic member comprises one of a coil spring and a plate spring. 10. The stand of claim 1, further comprising: a securing ring, seated in a groove formed in the releasing pin, for securing the lower end of the lever to the releasing pin. 11. The stand of claim 10, wherein said securing ring comprises one of a C-type annular fastener and an E-type annular fastener. 12. The stand of claim 1, said support arm further comprising: a support column having a first boss for receiving the pivot pin; a sidewall provided to at least one side of said support column; and a second boss disposed in opposition to the releasing pin, wherein the releasing pin is received at one end by said second boss and is passed through an opening formed in said sidewall. 13. The stand of claim 12, further comprising: a support body coupled to said pivoting arm at either side of the first boss, said support body having a first support link for receiving the display device and a second support link integrally formed with the first support link. 14. The stand of claim 1, further comprising: a pair of aesthetic outer covers fitted over said locking release, to be respectively disposed on either side of said support arm. 15. The stand of claim 14, wherein said pair of aesthetic outer covers comprises a fixing structure provided to an underlying component of said support arm. 16. The stand of claim 14, wherein said pair of aesthetic outer covers comprises a fixing structure provided to an underlying component of said support arm. 17. A stand for a display device, the stand comprising: a pivoting arm being configured at one end to enable coupling to the display device, said pivoting arm including a pivot pin and a support link for receiving one end of the pivot pin, one side of the support link being provided with a locking member having at least two locking devices; a support arm having an opening and a first boss for receiving the pivot pin, said support arm being configured at a lower end to enable coupling to a base for supporting the stand; and a locking release including: a releasing pin received by a second boss disposed in opposition to the opening of the sidewall, the releasing pin enabling a movement within said second boss at a predetermined stroke; an elastic member having one end elastically supported by the second boss; and a lever having an upper end for receiving the pivot pin and a lower end for receiving the releasing pin and compressing the elastic member, the upper end including a set of locking devices formed in correspondence to the at least two locking devices of the locking member to enable a selective engagement between one of the locking devices of said lever and one of the locking devices of the locking member. 18. A stand for a display device, the stand comprising: a pivoting arm including: at least one support body having a first support link and a second support link, the first support link being configured to enable coupling to the display device and the second support link being fixed to the first support link; a locking member having at least two locking devices; and a pivot pin passed through said locking member to be fitted into the second support link; a support arm including: a support column having a first boss for receiving said pivot pin; a sidewall provided to at least one side of said support column and having an opening; and a lower end surface of at least one of said support column and said sidewall, said lower end surface being configured to enable coupling to a base for supporting the stand; and a locking release including: a second boss disposed in opposition to the opening of said sidewall; a releasing pin received by said second boss to enable a movement within said second boss at a predetermined stroke; an elastic member having one end elastically supported by said second boss; and a lever having an upper end for receiving the pivot pin and a lower end for receiving said releasing pin and compressing said elastic member, the upper end including a set of locking devices formed in correspondence to the at least two locking devices of said locking member to enable a selective engagement between one of the locking devices of said lever and one of the locking devices of said locking member.
