Abstract: A child's toy oven comprises a housing having a baking chamber therein. An access opening is provided in a wall of the housing for communicating with the baking chamber. A slidable access door is positioned on a wall of the housing to open and close the access opening. A latch cooperates with the access door to prevent inadvertent opening of the slidable access door. The latch is pivotally secured on the access door and a stop shoulder on the housing is adapted to engage the latch to retain the access door in position closing the access opening. A spring is positioned between the latch and the access door for biasing the latch into position for engagement with the stop shoulder to preclude movement of the access door to unblock the access opening. A tray actuator external of the housing is provided to engage the latch to release it from engagement with the stop shoulder to permit movement of the access door by the tray to open the access opening and allow the tray to enter the baking chamber.
