STAND FOR CHARGING AND ELECTRIC TOOL

摘要

An electric tool such as a soldering iron can be constructed so as to be capable of being supported on a stand in such a position that an electric current is supplied to the tool. First and second contact elements are horizontally displaced from one another on the stand and are located so that an end of the tool can be inserted generally between them. First and second contact members are located on the tool in positions in which they can engage the contact elements. When the tool is in place upon the stand a portion of the tool projects from the side of the first contact element remote from the second contact element. This portion is sufficiently heavy so as to tend to pivot the tool about the first contact element in such a manner that the first contact element is in electrical communication with the first contact member and in such a manner that the second contact member is against and in electrical communication with the second contact element.
