ABSTRACT:
A novelty alarm clock system incorporating a game of skill comprises an alarm clock base unit including a clock assembly operative to display the current time and to audibly reproduce an audible alarm when the current time corresponds to a preselected alarm time, and a sensing element. The sensing element detects a remotely actuated alarm interruption signal and, in response thereto, discontinues the audible alarm for at least an interval of time. A game of skill is introduced by the manner in which the alarm interruption signal is remotely actuated. Specifically, a remote hand-held unit supplies a narrowly focused visible beam of light which must be precisely aligned with the sensing element (i.e., the target) on the alarm clock base unit in order to terminate or suspend reproduction of the audible alarm signal. Illustrative embodiments of the remote unit include a toy gun configuration, in which the focused beam passed through a barrel, and a wand structure, in which the focused beam passes through a bore through the wand and out an opening at one end.
