Abstract: A pair of lights are carried in a housing. One of the lights is in a constant "on" position, while the other is intermittently turned "on" and "off" through a switch means. The switch means is open and closed through a contact arm that is carried on a pivotally mounted cover for the housing.

Abstract: One of two actuator arms is responsive to a sharp drop in a step of a cam means, the arm engaging the bottom of the step to limit its travel. A striker carried by the arm continues in the direction of the drop to engage an alarm means.

Abstract: There is disclosed a timing mechanism utilizing a digital interval timer composed of rotating drum wheels each having a cam to close electrical switches to provide a program sequence. Cam followers are constructed and arranged so that when they drop in notches of the cams the drum wheels can be rotated in either direction.An auxiliary program is provided by a slideable drum shaped helical cam that actuates a cam follower. The drum shaped helical cam is manually axially set to provide a desired program. Both the drum shaped helical cam and the drum wheels are power driven from the same source.The timing mechanism is packaged in a cup shaped housing having individual ribs in its side-walls to receive a frame carrying the drum wheels and the drum shaped helical cam.

Abstract: First and second movable spring contact blades are disposed in substantially parallel relation and have substantially equal lengths with electrical contacts disposed near their distal ends. A third spring contact blade having electrical contacts at its distal end is fixedly disposed between the first two blades and has a shorter length than the two blades to provide a gap between the first two. The electrical contacts are in line with and facing each other at a distance just short of the gap. The combination of the electrical contacts provides a double pole switch means. Two independently operable actuator arms enter the gap to selectively engage the first and second spring contact blades to selectively open and close the electrical contacts. The two actuator arms in combination with the electrical contacts provide a program of a short pulsing duration within a longer program.There is a selector means which permits the actuator arm for the shorter duration to be operably removed from the system.

Abstract: An interval timer providing a relatively large number of settings between two extreme time intervals wherein two cooperating snail gears drive a drum and a cam, and wherein a partial gear disengages a motor drive means from one of the snail gears to intermittently stop the snail gears' rotation.
