Abstract
Abstract A device for holding a curling iron, during and after use, in a safe environment, which comprises base members, resilient clip, and protective heat shield, where the base members provide a means for mounting the device and supports the clip and protective heat shield, the clip firmly grips the curling iron handle, and the protective heat shield surrounds the curling iron barrel, preventing accidental contact with the heated barrel.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
186 words
A device for holding a curling iron having a handle and a heat barrel; said device comprising base members having an upper mounting surface supporting a resilient clip and a protective heat shield in spaced side by side relation; said resilient clip means having the shape of a partial sleeve for gripping the curling iron handle firmly about its longitudinal axis, preventing any axially or rotationally movement and also holding the curling iron in a cantilevered position wherein the heated barrel of the curling iron stands away from said base members and said protective heat shield to thus provide a thermally insulated air medium around the heated barrel; said protective heat shield means having the shape of a partial elongated sleeve for isolating the heated barrel, and preventing the barrel from contact with the surrounding environment, and also connected to said base members so that the said protective heat shield is spaced from the mounting surface to thus provide a thermally insulated air barrier therebetween and so that heat transfer from said protective heat shield to said base members is retarded by a reduced conduction path.
