JOHN WARMISHAM Watch & Clock Maker 1 Cannon St. Manchester do hereby
declare the nature of my invention for THE IMPROVED ELICTRIC ALARM CLOCK to be
as follows:-
An ordinary Timepiece Clock fit up with a small brass Alarm dial, which as a Pin
or Rivet in, under the figure 9. The Clock is connected with wires running to a
Le Clanch Battery and an Elictric Bell. The Clock when in motion carries the small
brass dial round, and the Pin or Rivet coming in connection with a piece of Brass
(attached to the wires from the side of the clock) thus completing the connection and
causeing the Bell to ring at the time set, and keep on ringing till it is stopped, which
is done by disconnecting it, with the switch on the side of the clock.

page_text: JOHN WARMISHAM Watch & Clock Maker 1 Cannon Street Manchester, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
An ordinary timepiece clock, fitted with a small brass dial, which has a brass Pin or
Stud under the figure 9 (as shown in drawing No. 1) The clock is connected with
wires running from a La Clanchè Battery and an Electric Bell to terminals fitted on
each side of clock (as shown in drawing) One of the wires (No. 2) inside the clock
running from one of the terminals to the foot of the movement. The wire in the
opposite side of clock (No. 3) running from the other terminal to the brass connection
at the bottom of the clock. The clock when in motion carries the brass dial round,
and the Pin or Stud comes in contact with a brass Spring A attached tothe side of
the clock, with wire (No. 4) from the spring to the connection at the bottom of clock,
and, forming a complete connection sets the Electric Bell ringing (for about 2 hours)
at whatever time it is set for, without it is disconnected, which is done by turning the
screw (at the bottom of the clock) from the brass plate (No. 5). The Alarm is set
(like the ordinary alarm) whatever time it is required to ring at, place the number
required on the brass dial under the small hand and it will ring at the time set.
Haveing now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :
(1.) An improvement on the old alarms (which only rings for a few minutes) while
mine will ring for about hours, thus compelling the person to get out of bed to
stop it.
(2.) I do not claim the application of the bell & battery attached to a clock as
original, but I claim the small brass dial fitted with Pin or Stud under the figure 9,
fitted to a timepiece clock, and the wire connections inside the clock with brass spring
to catch Pin or Stud, also including the brass plate and screw for connecting and
disconnecting the clock. This arrangement attached to an ordinary Electric Bell and
Battery, forming the simplest Electric Alarm, I have ever seen or heard of.
(3.) This Alarm (unlike all other Electric Alarms made up by Electricians and
others) as been improved so that it can be Manufactured at a smaller cost, and be the
most perfect Alarm ever yet introduced.
