1. An attachment for facilitating storage of an implement comprising,a member having two arms extending in a generally parallel direction with a first end of each arm joined by a spanning section and with the opposite end of each arm forming a bent portion at an angle with respect to the generally parallel direction,a base having a first portion for retaining the joined arms on the base and for slidable movement of the member along the length of the arms, with respect to the base, between a storage position and a position for supporting the implement,the base having a second portion adapted for joining to an implement, andat least one protuberance on the exterior of the base first portion cooperating with at least one of the bent portions to hold the member in an extended position for supporting the implement. 2. The device of claim 1 wherein the member is generally U-shaped with the first end of each arm being joined by the spanning section to form a generally U-shaped connection. 3. The device of claim 2 wherein the opposite end of each arm is substantially perpendicular to the generally parallel direction of each arm. 4. The device of claim 2 wherein the base includes two parallel cylindrical portions, each portion adapted for slidably receiving one of the parallel arms to enable the member to move to and from its operative position for hanging the implement to its storage position whereby the member is not interfering with the operation of the implement, andwherein each opposite end of each arm extending at an angle is adapted to prevent the member from being removed from the base when the member is in its operative position. 5. The device of claim 1 wherein the spanning section is generally V-shaped. 6. An attachment for facilitating storage of an implement comprising,a member having two arms extending in a generally parallel direction with a first end of each arm joined by a spanning section and with the opposite end of each arm forming a bent portion at an anile with respect to the generally parallel direction,a base having a first portion for retaining the joined arms on the base and for slidable movement of the member alone the length of the arms, with respect to the base, between a storage position and a position for supporting the implement,the base having a second portion adapted for joining to an implement,the base being generally flat and having holes for connectors which can secure the base to the implement, andat least one protuberance on the base portion engaging with at least one of the bent portions to hold the member in an extended position for supporting the implement. 7. A combination of an attachment for facilitating storage of an wheelbarrow and a wheelbarrow comprising,a member having two arms extending in a generally parallel direction with a first end of each arm joined by a spanning section and with the opposite end of each arm bent at an angle with respect to the generally parallel direction,a base having a first portion for retaining the joined arms on the base and for slidable movement of the member, with respect to the base, between a storage position and a position for supporting the implement,the base having a second portion adapted for joining to an wheelbarrow, anda wheelbarrow, wherein the attachment is secured to the wheelbarrow tub at a location enabling the attachment with the secured wheelbarrow to be hung. 8. A combination of an attachment for facilitating storage of an wheelbarrow and a wheelbarrow comprising,a member having two arms extending in a generally parallel direction with a first end of each arm joined by a spanning section and with the opposite end of each arm bent at an angle with respect to the generally parallel direction,a base having a first portion for retaining the joined arms on the base and for slidable movement of the member, with respect to the base, between a storage position and a position for supporting the implement,the base having a second portion adapted f or joining to an wheelbarrow, anda wheelbarrow, wherein the attachment being is secured to the wheelbarrow tub at a location enabling the attachment with the secured wheelbarrow to hold the wheelbarrow in an upright position standing on its own. 9. An attachment for facilitating storage of an implement comprising,a member having two arms extending in a generally parallel direction with a first end of each arm joined by a spanning section and with the opposite end of each arm forming a bent portion at an angle with respect to the generally parallel direction,a base having a first portion for retaining the joined arms on the base and for slidable movement of the member along the length of the arms, with respect to the base, between a storage position and a position for supporting the implement,the base having a second portion adapted for joining to an implement,wherein the second portion comprises one of a screw, a bolt, a magnet, an adhesive or a hook and loop-type fastener for securing the base to the implement, andat least one protuberance on the base portion engaging with at least one of the bent portions to hold the member in an extended position for supporting the implement. 10. An attachment for facilitating storage of an implement comprising,a member having two arms extending in a generally parallel direction with a first end of each arm joined by a spanning section and with the opposite end of each arm forming a bent portion at an angle with respect to the generally parallel direction,a base having a first portion for retaining the joined arms on the base and for slidable movement of the member alone the length of the arms, with respect to the base, between a storage position and a position for supporting the implement,the base having a second portion adapted for joining to an implement, anda mechanism to hold the member in an extended position for supporting the implementwherein the mechanism comprises protuberances that are provided on the base to retain the member in an operative position and that engage with at least one of the bent portions.
