Abstract
An audio amplifier for amplifying the audio signal generated by an alarm watch. The amplifier includes an automatic snooze alarm which is generated a predetermined time after the initial alarm is generated by the watch.
Claims7
An alarm device comprising:
- a watch having means for producing an audio signal at a selected time;
- audio amplifier means physically separated from said watch, and sensing means for energizing said audio amplifier means in response to an audio alarm produced by said watch;
- and
- the audio amplifier means including a silicone element, and a microphone for amplifying the alarm, said microphone being partially embedded in the silicone element.

An alarm device comprising:
- a watch having means for producing an audio alarm at a selected time;
- audio amplifier means physically separated from said watch, and sensing means for energizing said audio amplifier means in response to an audio alarm produced by said watch;
- and
- said audio amplifier means includes an electrical battery means, a speaker, a power amplifier connected to the battery means and to the speaker, and power amplifier timing means connected to the power amplifier such that the speaker is energized only if the audio signal received by the sensing means is received for a predetermined period.

An alarm device comprising:
- a watch having means for producing an audio alarm at a selected time;
- audio amplifier means physically separated from said watch, and sensing means for energizing said audio amplifier means in response to an audio alarm produced by said watch;
- and
- a light emitting diode connected in the audio amplifier means for discriminating against certain audio frequencies such that the amplifier means is not activated in response to such frequencies.
