  • Patent number: 6009048
    Abstract: A novelty electric and digital alarm clock with or without a radio is configured as a gambling slot machine or a "one-armed bandit" and computerized to perform various functions. A lever arm on one side sets the alarm by being moved forward. The alarm clock has a red dome light on top which lights up when the preset awakening time is reached. A first display screen comprising light emitting diodes with or without light pipes, electroluminescent devices, or a liquid crystal display initially shows three different fruits in color, but shows three sevens when the alarm is initiated. One or a plurality of switches on the back of the clock permit the selection of a vocal phrase, a tune, a ringing bell or a radio program which will be activated as the alarm. The payout chute at the front and bottom of the clock displays metal or plastic coins under a transparent cover to simulate a payout chute which lights up or flashes when the alarm is activated.
