Description:
Quoting paragraph 5: "The essence of my invention resides in the arrangement of a plurality of alarm bells mounted at the back of a typical alarm clock of present day manufacture, said bells being arranged within each other and sounding by a common striker. Releasing mechanism permitting the striker to operate at a predetermined time has no part in this invention, as any of the present releasing devices may be employed; nor has the usual clock train of springs, escapements, gears, and clock hands any direct bearing and these parts are therefore eliminated from the drawing; it being understood that any typical clock train may be used.
