US 12,765,725 B2 · Collapsible heat shield

Abstract

This disclosure is directed toward a collapsible heat and/or fire shield (referred to herein as a “collapsible shield”). In some examples, the collapsible shield may protect a user from heat, fire, and/or sparks when the user engages in activities (e.g., roasting food, moving wood/coals, etc.) proximate a fire. In some examples, the collapsible shield may include a rod which may include a handle on one end, and one or more prongs on a second end. A user may utilize the handle to maneuver the rod about a fire. Further, a canopy may encircle the rod between the handle and the prongs. The canopy may be configured to expand into a dome-shaped barrier, and collapse so that the canopy lay substantially flat, proximate the rod.
