There were alarm clocks before this (and the patent indicates that &#8220;[t]he works need involve no novelty&#8221;).  Levi Hutchins is credited with one of the first U.S. alarm clocks in 1787.  The alarm on this clock had a preset time that could not be changed.  U.S. Patent No. X7154 from 1832 on an Alarm Bell, For Time Pieces, Alarm Clock discloses a bell for an alarm clock.  U.S. Patent No. 1956 from 1841 mentions the &#8220;common alarm clock.&#8221; U.S. Patent No. 9123 from 1852 is the first U.S. on an alarm clock per se.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/patents.harnessip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-51.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"506\" height=\"748\" src=\"https:\/\/patents.harnessip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-51.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/patents.harnessip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-51.png 506w, https:\/\/patents.harnessip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-51-203x300.png 203w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 506px) 100vw, 506px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On October 24, 1876, U.S. Patent No. 183725 issued to Seth E.
