Curling Iron Holder

Abstract

A portable curling iron holder is disclosed utilizing inexpensive thermoplastic molded to form a caddy. The holder incorporates a thermally resistant insert placed into and securely attached within one of the cavities of the caddy. This insert would be sized to receive and retain the heated barrel of a curling iron while providing a thermally insulative gap between the heated barrel of the curling iron and the adjacent thermoplastic walls of the caddy.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A device for holding a curling iron defined by an elongated body having a heatable electrical element; said device comprising a holder, said holder comprised of a caddy and an insert, wherein said caddy is formed of molded thermoplastic and shaped to create a cavity having a cross sectional size substantially greater than that of the cross section of said elongated body of a curling iron, and having a means to securely receive and hold said insert, said insert being formed of metal and shaped to create a cavity having a cross sectional size greater than that of the cross section of said elongated body of a curling iron, but substantially smaller than the cross section of said cavity so as to form, when said insert is received by and held securely by said caddy, an approximately uniform space between said insert cavity wall and said caddy cavity wall. 
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1  in which the insert is constructed of a thermally resistant plastic.
