Abstract
An aromatic alarm system for awakening a user to a pleasant smell at a pre-selected time comprising, in combination an electronic processor couplable to a source of power adapted to provide electric power and controls to the system; an optical display operatively coupled to the processor to display a time of day and a starting time, the optical display having associated operator variable controls to change the time of day and starting time; and an atomizer, a housing supporting the atomizer, the housing also supporting the processor, the atomizer including a reservoir of fluid to be atomized, an outlet orifice for dispensing atomized fluid, tubing coupling the outlet orifice and reservoir, a pump coupled to the tubing to convey fluid from the reservoir to the outlet orifice and convert it from the liquid state into the atomized state, a motor with an operator controlled variable resistor to operate the pump at a pre-selected intensity, an operator controlled on/off switch to energize the motor to allow activation of the motor and pump as a function of the starting time of the optical display as selected by the operator.
