ABSTRACT:
The activity timer for meditation is a timing device having a hollow, oval shaped housing similar in shape and scale to a chicken egg. The housing has a frustoconical base including a flat bottom provided for resting the timer on a flat surface. Translucent radial channels are disposed circumferentially in the housing at predetermined axial distances from each other. A rotary tone selection dial, a rotary time duration selection dial, and a rotary tone volume control are respectively disposed within the radial channels. Logic, control circuitry, audio amplifier and lighting are disposed within the housing. A loudspeaker is located at the top of the housing. The rotary dials are used to select a desired tone, tone volume and timer duration. The device transmits the selected tone signaling the end of a user activity. All rotary dials and selection indicators are illuminated and raised to the touch for ease of use.
