ABSTRACT:
An easily set alarm clock which provides continuous and reliable assurance of correct alarm activation. The alarm clock comprises: a) an upright display screen having a large 4 digit time display portion and a smaller 4 digit alarm display portion; b) a lateral keypad positioned beneath the display screen, said keypad having time set function keys positioned in vertical alignment along a left side portion of the keypad, a numeric key portion positioned immediately to the right of the time set function keys on a central portion of the keypad for entry of the time corresponding to the selected function key, and AM/set-PM/set selection keys positioned in vertical alignment along a right side portion of the keypad. The clock configured so that if an alarm time is displayed the alarm is ON and will always activate audibly at the alarm time displayed, and alternatively if a time is not displayed the alarm is OFF. After a user has easily and quickly set both the clock and alarm time by pressing keys from left to right on the key pad, he can then, at any time be assured that the alarm will invariably sound at that alarm time displayed. The alarm is so easily set that a handicapped individual, without holding the alarm clock, can entirely make all settings from a front side portion of the clock with a stick held in his mouth, one key at a time.
