A box formed with an aperture in which a photosensitive cell is secured includes an electronic circuit connected to be fed by the electrical signal produced by the photosensitive cell when the latter is irradiated by ambient radiation. Said electronic circuit comprises a delay circuit adapted to receive the signal and arranged to produce a control signal when the cell has been irradiated for a predetermined time interval; an audible signal generator received in the box opposite apertures and connected to produce an audible signal in response to the control signal; and a circuit adapted to interrupt the audible signal after a predetermined time interval so that the audible signal is of predetermined duration. The box has means for securing it to an object which is required not to be lost accidentally, e.g. keys, a wallet, a diary, etc. A cover can be provided for being placed over the cell to protect it and keep away external radiations when the reminder device is not required to be operative.

1. A reminder device adapted to be secured to an object comprising a box formed with an aperture in which a photosensitive cell is secured, said cell being adapted to produce an electrical signal when irradiated by ambient radiation; amplifier means having its input connected to the output of said photosensitive cell; electric transformer means having a primary winding connected to be fed by the output signal of said amplifier means and having a secondary winding; first delay means connected across the secondary winding of said transformer means; logic gate means connected to said first delay means to be switched by the output signal from the delay means to provide a control signal; output gate means having a first input connected to accept said control signal and a second input, said output gate means having its output connected to an audible signal generator; second delay means connected across the output of said logic gate means; switching means having its input connected to said second delay means and having its output connected to the second input of said output gate means, said switching means being responsive to the output signal from said second delay means to inhibit the control signal for said audible signal generator thereby interrupting the audible warning signal after a predetermined interval of time. 2. A device according to claim 1, wherein the box comprises means for securing the device to an object. 3. A device according to claim 1, wherein the box has on its surface means for sticking the device to an object. 4. A key ring holder with reminder device, comprising a reminder device according to claim 1 and a key ring secured to the box of the device.
