Abstract

An alarm clock has a clockwork which drives a 12-hour display and a waking contact which is settable over a 12-hour range. The contact works into a mono-flop or flip-flop to generate a signal in each successive 12-hour cycle at the time set by the contact and this signal is applied to a flip-flop which can energize a signal generator via circuitry ensuring the application of only one signal from the timing flip-flop during each 24-hour period.
