Abstract

The present invention relates to a single day alarm clock. More particularly, the invention encompasses a single day alarm clock that can be used in the motel/hotel industry. This invention further includes inventive features, such as, a single touch alarm activation and deactivation feature, flashing light when the alarm is activated, a “night-light” to indicate setting-up of the alarm, a visual reset alarm button to indicate and prevent the undesired activation of the alarm, to name a few.

Claims

1. An apparatus, comprising an alarm-clock, wherein said alarm-clock has at least one button and at least one alarm, and wherein when said alarm is set said alarm button radiates light.

7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said alarm-clock is powered by a power source selected from a group consisting of an alternating current source between about 120 volts and about 240volts, and a direct current source between about 1 volt and about 24 volts.

8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the display of said alarm-clock is selected from a group consisting of a digital display and an analog display.

9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein at least one means is provided to control light radiating from said alarm-clock.

10. An apparatus, comprising an alarm-clock, wherein said alarm-clock has at least one button and at least one alarm, and wherein when said alarm is activated said alarm button radiates a flashing light.

11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein at least one luminescent device is associated with said alarm button, and wherein said luminescent device is selected from a group consisting of an incandescent bulb, a fluorescent bulb, a sodium bulb, a halogen bulb, an LED, and an LCD.

12. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein material for said alarm button is selected from a group consisting of opaque material, transparent material, translucent material and iridescent material.

13.
