A self-contained programmable time interval alarm device that has a plurality of switches or buttons to set the alarm interval. Depending on the mode of the device, each button corresponds either to a day of the week or a numeral representing a particular time digit or number of dosages for a given time interval. In this manner, the alarm is simply programmable by actuating a sequence of buttons corresponding to the desired interval. The alarm device has a housing to which is attached a clamp supplied with jaws, into which containers of different dimensions can be clamped and held. The jaws move from a relaxed position to an expanded position and finally to a biased position as the medication container is pushed between free ends of the jaws and then pushed to enter a grasping space between the jaws.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A self-contained programmable time interval alarm device for medication administration, comprising:a housing;a clamp having two jaws, the clamp being attached to the housing and extending away from the housing, the two jaws having free ends, the two jaws being spaced from each other to define a grasping space therebetween, said free ends of said jaws being movable with respect to each other between a relaxed position and an expanded position, where in the expanded position said free ends of said jaws are separated from each other to form a gap that accommodates the neck of said medication container;indication circuitry supported by the housing and arranged at a location spaced from said gap and spaced from said grasping space, said indication circuitry being responsive to passage of a programmed time interval to make an indication; anda plurality of switches supported by the housing, said indication circuitry being responsive to actuation of a sequence of said switches to set the programmed time interval so that the indication circuitry makes the indication in response to passage of the time interval.
