ABSTRACT:
An animal trap comprising a first frame member made of strong metal rod, generally rectangular in shape and defining a striker bar and an anvil bar connected by side bars, said frame member also having extending bars fixedly connected to the frame at the junction points of the anvil bars and the side bars, extending at a slight angle to the side bars, and ending in end connections, a second frame member similar to the first having similar extending bars ending in end connections, said first and second frame members connected together at the end connections such that their side bars pass each other in close proximity defining X-shaped structures at each end of the trap and such that relative motion may occur from an upper "set" position where the two striker bars lie close to each other to a lower "sprung" position where each striker bar approaches closely to the anvil bar of the other frame member, a metal rod spring device formed of one or more spring coils connected by arms to two rings, said rings encircling said X-shaped structure at one end of the trap and said spring biased such that when the trap is in the set position the rings tend to force the striker bars apart towards the anvil bars, and a trigger device connected to the striker bars to hold them together at the set position and having a trigger release adapted to be operative by an animal passing through the trap to set off the trap causing the striker bars to strike down towards the anvil bars.
