Standing broom

Abstract

An aftermarket attachment designed to retrofit onto 2′ ft. standard pushbroom that allows said broom to stand erect and stable in an upright position. Attaches to broom-top (hard surface opposite bristles) with 4 screws and enables the broom to be located, grasped and operated with user ease.

1 . “Standing Broom” allows standard 2 ft push broom to stand erect. 
   
   
       2 . “Standing Broom” allows ease of location and eliminates bending over while grasping. 
   
   
       3 . “Standing Broom” eliminates nics/scratches/dings on otherwise used surface that brooms are leaned up against—car, house siding, garage, etc. 
   
   
       4 . “Standing Broom” allows user to effectively use less pressure from hands/arms to move debris—user can effectively operate broom/move debris with one hand due to counter balance of weight and attached location of SB. 
   
   
       5 . “Standing Broom” can be used as a temporary/quick barrier for safety applications—leave upright standing broom on sidewalk/street to alert oncoming pedestrians/vehicles that work is in progress. 
   
   
       6 . “Standing Broom” can be used as a light scraper to remove mud or sticky material on the hard surface users are intending to clean. Turn bristles over and use the beveled edge as a scraper—scratch and sweep. 
   
   
       7 . “Standing Broom” can now be used as a hard hat/jacket holder—place any ball cap/towel/t-shirt on now erect broom handle and your clothing remains off the street and is kept free of debris. This also intensifies #5 due to the higher visibility of work in progress. 
   
   
       8 . “Standing Broom” is sustainable and can be attached to new brooms as broom bristles wear down/out.
