Abstract
A simulated burner for a toy cooking stove, range or the like. The burner comprises a first member having at least one slot extending therethrough. The burner has a second member having a projection complementary to and in register with the slot. The first and second members are preferably of contrasting colors. The first and second members are movable relative to one another causing the projection to gradually move between retracted and extended positions. In the retracted position, the projection is out of and adjacent one side of the slot and not appreciably visible to the operator. In this retracted position, the burner simulates an "off" or "no heat" condition. In the extended position, the projection extends through the slot and is highly visible to the operator. In this extended position, the burner simulates a maximum heat condition. In the positions between retracted and extended positions, the burner simulates varying heat conditions.
