Abstract: |
A water actuated toy kitchen set includes a housing having an interior cavity therein supported by a support base. A sink includes a depressible faucet together with a sink well and drain coupling. A dishwasher cavity supports a slidable dishwasher tray, a spray head, a return drain and a pivotable dishwasher door having a transparent window therein. A pressure responsive bellows is operatively coupled to the dishwasher spray head and controls the vertical position of one or more simulated toast slices within a toaster which appears to rest upon the counter top of the kitchen set. A battery-operated pump and pump motor is operatively coupled to a switch mechanism actuated by depressing the faucet to pump water under pressure through the faucet as well as through the dishwasher spray head. Recirculating paths are provided for the pump water to maintain a continuous recycled water flow. A plurality of miniature dishes, preferably coated with a thermochromic material, are supported within a movable dish rack supported within the dishwasher.
