A plane display with a foldable support. The plane display comprises a base and a back plane mounted on a plane display panel. The back plane pivots on the base by a sleeve. The connecting rod is disposed in the sleeve, and slides between a first position and a second position. An L-shaped member is fixed on the connecting rod. When the connecting rod is in the first position, the L-shaped member secures the back plane to the base at a first angle. When the connecting rod is in the second position, the L-shaped member releases the back plane from the base, and the back plane rotates with respect to the base to a second angle.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a plane display, and more particularly, to a plane display with a foldable support.
2. Description of the Related Art
The following detailed description, given by way of example and not intended to limit the invention solely to the embodiments described herein, will best be understood in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic side view of a conventional plane display as referenced in the Prior Art;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the foldable support of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the foldable support of the invention. In FIG. 2, the foldable support for a plane display of the invention includes a base 3 and a back plane 21. The back plane 21 has a plurality of screw holes 215 to mount the plane display panel (not shown). The back plane 21 has a first arm 211 and a second arm 213 respectively pivoting on a first fin 31 and a second fin 33 of the base 3. Thus, the back plane 21 can be rotated with respect to the base 3.
In FIGS. 3 and 4, the first arm 211 of the back plane 21 is pivoting on the first fin 31 of the base 3 through a sleeve 41. A spacer 48a is disposed on the sleeve 41 to maintain an interval between the first arm 211 and the first fin 31. The sleeve 41 is fixed to the first arm 211 of the back plane 21 by a flange 413 at one end.
A connecting rod 43 is movably disposed in the central hole 411 of the sleeve 41. The connecting rod 43 has an end 435 with a flange 433 engaging with the bore 491 of the cap 49. A spring 46 is disposed between the right end of the sleeve 41 and the flange 433 of the connecting rod 43. The spring 46 provides an elastic force to maintain the connecting rod 43 rightward. An L-shaped member 45 is disposed at the end opposite to the flange 433 of the connecting rod 43. The L-shaped member 45 is disposed between the C-shaped buckles 47a, 47b with a spacer 48b within. Thus, the L-shaped member 45 is fixed on the connecting rod 43.
