Abstract
An articulating stand for brooms and similarly handled implements, the stand includes first and second clipping portions. The first clipping portion and second clipping portion hold an elongated handle of the implement under tension sufficient to prevent the handle from sliding. The first clipping portion is angled relative to the second clipping portion, such that it releases the handle when the second clipping portion engages the handle and vice versa. A panel for engaging a standing surface on which the articulating stand and an implement rests is provided below the second clipping portion and includes a wide bottom edge with opposing ends, forming a tripod with the implement. The panel is in substantially linear arrangement with the second clip, such that the panel is adjacent the handle with the second clipping portion engaging the handle, and not adjacent the handle when the first clipping portion engages the handle.
