INTERNAL CHIME MECHANISM FOR AN ALARM CLOCK

An electromechanical chime mechanism includes a chime bar having a plurality of rectangular undercuts and a solenoid striker having a mallet head positioned proximate to and substantially perpendicular to the chime bar. The solenoid striker is (i) positioned within an acoustic resonator and (ii) configured to propel the mallet head against the chime bar when electrically activated. The chime mechanism includes a plurality of shock-absorbing elastic posts with crescent tops holding the chime bar in place. The acoustic resonator is a cavity positioned behind the chime bar with an opening towards the chime bar.
