Standard 2′ Push Brooms—how they equate to user, position to ground (surface of earth), and how they move debris. Developed invention due to lack of energy while repeatedly locating, reaching and bending down to grasp and use push broom to sweep material on hard surfaces. Brooms do not stand up and are leaned up against surfaces like cars, houses, interiors of garages which allows for scratches/dings.
After-market attachment secures to any standard 2′ wide pushbroom with 4 screws and allows broom to stand erect (hence—Standing Broom) for ease of location, ease of handling and the moving of debris with ease due to torque of weight distribution put on front nose of broom.

Continuous 45 degree bevel on down edge allows broom to stand erect on its own. Notches (3 total) allow SB to adhere firmly to broom surface and attach to top of broom surface (opposite bristle side) and accommodates 90 pct. of all manufactured 2′ wide push brooms. Hard plastic is durable, waterproof and has weight distribution to counter balance SB. Name (STANDING BROOM) and patent number to be machine etched on topside/center.
