Abstract
A dome-shaped cap which fits over standard stove knobs to prevent small children and toddlers from turning or engaging the knobs. Two latches, one of each side of the cap, are simultaneously depressed to release or install the cap. The latches are attached to the underside of a skirt which extends around the bottom of the dome-shaped cap. Each latch is an L-shaped member which rotates around a pin extending from the skirt.
