ABSTRACT:
An apparatus to safely hold a heated curling iron to an existing electrical plug outlet. A conventional plug outlet has its face plate removed and the apparatus is retrofitted on an existing conventional plug outlet. A wall mounted unit consists of an expanded substitute face wall plate replacement with electrical plug inlets on its top and bottom surfaces. This retrofitted wall mounted unit has provision for the insertion of additional plug contacts and for mounting the curling iron holder at an adjustable angle. To adjustably mount the wall mounted unit to the curling iron holder, several protruding plugs in a circular configuration surround a larger center protruding member. Each of these plugs and member can engage complementarily shaped holes in the wall mounted unit. An end enlarged cap and spring retaining member combination allows the curling iron holder to be slightly pulled away from the wall mounted unit and then rotated to have this angular adjustment made. Additional features include side slot openings in the curling iron holder to dissipate heat, retaining rings to hold the two halves of the holder together and a protective screen barrier insertable into the curling iron holder.
