Stove timer and automatic cut off system

A stove timer and automatic cut off system comprising, in combination:

• a stove having a plurality of burners each adapted to generate heat upon the receipt of power, the stove further including a control panel;
• a start switch situated on the control panel of the stove for transmitting a start signal upon the depression thereof;
• a clear switch situated on the control panel of the stove for transmitting a clear signal upon the depression thereof;
• a timer selector switch assembly situated on the control panel of the stove and having a plurality of discrete orientations, wherein the switch assembly is adapted to transmit a timer signal representative of a unique predetermined amount of time in each orientation;
• an audio means situated on the control panel of the stove and adapted to emit an audible alarm only during the actuation thereof;
• a display situated on the control panel of the stove for depicting a plurality of numeric digits thereon;
• relay means connected between the burners of the stove and a source of power, the relay means adapted to supply the burner with power only during the actuation thereof;
• and
• control means connected between the start switch, clear switch, timer selector switch assembly, audio means, display, and relay means, the control means adapted to function in an activated mode only upon the receipt of the start signal wherein the control means actuates the relay means and further depicts a decrementing timer on the display which decrements from the predetermined amount of time represented by the timer signal, the control means, while in the activated mode and upon the receipt of the start signal, adapted to continuously actuate the relay means and further depict on the display a decrementing timer which decrements again from the predetermined amount of time represented by the timer signal currently received, the control means, while in the activated mode and upon the cessation of the predetermined amount of time represented by the timer signal, adapted to actuate the alarm for an interim and further deactuate the relay means and the alarm upon the cessation of the interim, the control means, while in the activated mode and upon the cessation of the predetermined amount of time represented by the timer signal and further upon the receipt of the start signal, adapted to continuously actuate the relay means and further depict on the display a decrementing timer which decrements again from the predetermined amount of time represented by the timer signal currently received, the control means, while in the activated mode and upon the receipt of the clear signal, further adapted to merely deactuate the relay means;
• wherein the timer selector switch assembly is adapted to default to a predetermined non-zero setting upon each depression of the start switch thereby requiring the user to depress a more lengthy setting if desired.
