---

FIG. 1 is a perspective view as seen from the bottom, rear, and right side of a soleplate for a steam iron showing my new design;

FIG. 2 is a bottom plan view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a left side elevational view thereof, the right side elevational view being a mirror image of the left side elevational view;

FIG. 4 is a front elevational view thereof; and,

FIG. 5 is a rear elevational view thereof.

The top plan view for the soleplate for a steam iron has been omitted as the top is not visible during normal use.
