1. A display supporting apparatus comprising:
- a supporting unit including a first support frame, a second support frame for mounting a display thereon, and a linkage mechanism pivotally connected to and disposed between said first and second support frames; and
a resilient mechanism including a guide member mounted on one of said first and second support frames, a slide member pivotally connected to the other one of said first and second support frames, and a resilient member, said slide member being removably and slidably engageable with said guide member;
wherein said supporting unit is operable between a folded state, in which said first and second support frames are moved toward each other, and an unfolded state, in which said first and second support frames are moved away each other;
wherein, when said supporting unit is in the folded state, said slide member is engaged with said guide member, said second support frame is proximate to said first support frame, and said resilient member is compressed between said first and second support frames to store a biasing force; and
wherein, when said supporting unit is in the unfolded state, said slide member is disengaged and separated from said guide member, and said first and second support frames are biased by the biasing force of said resilient member to move away from each other.

Abstract
A display supporting apparatus includes a supporting unit having first and second support frames, and a resilient mechanism having a guide member, a slide member removably and slidably engageable with the guide member, and a resilient member. The supporting unit is operable between folded and unfolded states, in which the first and second support frames are moved toward and away from each other, respectively. The resilient member is compressed between the first and second support frames when the supporting unit is in the folded state.

8. A display supporting apparatus comprising:
-
a supporting unit including a first support frame, a second support frame for mounting a display thereon, and a linkage mechanism pivotally connected to and disposed between said first and second support frames; and a resilient mechanism including a guide member mounted on one of said first and second support frames, a slide member pivotally connected to the other one of said first and second support frames, and a resilient member, said slide member being removably and slidably engageable with said guide member; wherein said supporting unit is operable between a folded state, in which said first and second support frames are moved toward each other, and an unfolded state, in which said first and second support frames are moved away each other; wherein, when said supporting unit is in the folded state, said slide member is engaged with said guide member, said second support frame is proximate to said first support frame, and said resilient member is compressed between said first and second support frames to store a biasing force; wherein, when said supporting unit is in the unfolded state, said slide member is disengaged from said guide member, and said first and second support frames are biased by the biasing force of said resilient member to move away from each other; and wherein; said guide member has a sliding groove defined by a groove bottom wall and a groove surrounding wall extending outwardly and transversely from said groove bottom wall, and a projection member projecting from said groove bottom wall into said sliding groove, said sliding groove having an open end, said projection member having an engaging portion; said slide member is engaged to said engaging portion when said first and second support frames are moved toward each other to retain said supporting unit in the folded state; and when one of said first and second support frames is pushed toward the other one of said first and second support frames, said slide member is moved to disengage from said engaging portion, thereby permitting movement of said first and second support frames away from each other so as to switch said supporting unit from the folded state to the unfolded state.

9. A display supporting apparatus comprising:
-
a supporting unit including a first support frame, a second support frame for mounting a display thereon, and a linkage mechanism pivotally connected to and disposed between said first and second support frames; and a resilient mechanism including a guide member mounted on one of said first and second support frames, a slide member pivotally connected to the other one of said first and second support frames, and a resilient member, said slide member being removably and slidably engageable with said guide member; wherein said supporting unit is operable between a folded state, in which said first and second support frames are moved toward each other, and an unfolded state, in which said first and second support frames are moved away each other; wherein, when said supporting unit is in the folded state, said slide member is engaged with said guide member, said second support frame is proximate to said first support frame, and said resilient member is compressed between said first and second support frames to store a biasing force; wherein, when said supporting unit is in the unfolded state, said slide member is disengaged from said guide member, and said first and second support frames are biased by the biasing force of said resilient member to move away from each other; and wherein; said supporting unit is configured to be connected to a wall-hanging frame; said first support frame has a connection body, two spaced-apart hook-engaging plates extending transversely and then downwardly from a top end of said connection body, a roller rotatably disposed on said connection body between said hook-engaging plates, and an abutment member pivoted to one lateral side of said connection body; said hook-engaging plates are configured to engage with the wall-hanging frame when said supporting unit is connected to the wall-hanging frame; and said abutment member is configured to pivot toward and abut against the wall-hanging frame when said supporting unit is connected to the wall-hanging frame.
