ABSTRACT:
An alarm clock construction having a frame carrying time mechanism and a timer motor for driving the time mechanism, the time mechanism including an alarm setting member for selecting a predetermined time the clock construction is to sound an alarm. A reed member is pivotally carried by the frame to pivot on an intermediate pivot point thereon and is adapted to pivot to an alarm producing position when the time mechanism reaches the predetermined time. An on-off alarm member has a biasing part for acting on the reed member on one side of the pivot point to tend to bias the reed member to the alarm producing position when the on-off alarm member is in the "on" position thereof and for acting on the reed member on the other side of the pivot point to tend to bias the reed member out of the alarm producing position when the on-off alarm member is in the "off" position thereof. An actuator member is movably carried by the frame and is movable to a position to temporarily hold the reed member out of the alarm producing position thereof even though the on-off alarm member is in the "on" position thereof, the actuator member movably carrying a pinion-like member that moves relative to the actuator member and cause the actuator member to move out of its alarm stopping position to again sound the alarm after the lapse of a certain time period.
