  • Patent number: 12629763
    Abstract: An iron holder includes a stand body, a rest, and a heat shield configured to at least partially surround a soldering iron. The stand body includes a tip support portion, a base portion, an intermediate portion, an accessory holding portion, and a handle support portion. The tip support portion is higher in elevation than the handle support portion, creating a tip-up angle for the soldering iron to rest at. The heat shield is disposed at the tip support portion and comprises one singular piece of metal that is bent into a half-pipe shape and perforated with holes. The handle support portion has a rubberized cover for additional grip and heat insulation. The rest ensures that a tip of the soldering iron does not contact the heat shield. In the tip-up orientation, the soldering iron handle is less likely to increase in temperature from the tip of the soldering iron.
