sequence a function timing means is provided for timing the operational sequence an alarm timing means for timing an audible alarm at the completion of an operational sequence a power switching means a power supply and a power turn off means to de energize the power switching means application_number US 72434676 A description referring now to fig1 delay timed switching circuit 10 includes in combination a power switching means 12 a power supply means 16 a single delay timing means 18 a function timing means 20 a power turn off means 24 and an alarm timing means 26 the delay timed switching circuit may through power switching means 12 activate an external load 86 such as a microwave oven through a relay means 14 as will become apparent the timing cycle of function timing means 20 which times the operational sequence of load 86 will be delayed by delay timing means 18 to allow certain conditions precedent to be performed once delayed the operational sequence of load 86 will operate for a predetermined time preselected by function timing means 20 until the power switching means 12 is de energized through power turn off means 24 the de energizing of power switching means 12 actuates alarm timing means 26 which in turn sounds an audible alarm for a predetermined time as shown activation of power switching means 12 activates power supply means 16 activation of power switching means 12 also simultaneously activates switching means 22 fig2 power supply means 16 activates delay timing means 18 which.
