The vertical stand includes an upper part and a lower part that extend upwardly and coaxially one above the other. A first ring is rigidly connected to and radially projects from the bottom end of the upper part. A second ring is rigidly connected to and radially projects from the top end of the lower part. Both of these rings are provided with a plurality of vertical perforations. A locking pin is insertable simultaneously into a selected perforation of the first ring and another selected peroration of the second ring to lock these two rings in the selected angular position.
