ABSTRACT:
An animal trap (10) including a spring (16) with first and second arm members (18, 20) extending from the spring (16) to outward ends (22, 26) such that the outward ends (22, 26) are biased apart by the spring (16). A loop portion (24) is positioned on the outward end (22) of the first arm member (18) and substantially encircles the outward end (26) of the second arm member (20). A jaw portion (28) on the second arm member (20) is positioned to be biased toward a side (30) of the loop portion (24) which is opposite the first arm member (18). A trigger member (32) is movably carried on the first arm member (18) and includes a paddle portion (38) and a detent portion (36). The paddle portion (38) is positionable in substantially axial alignment with the loop portion (24) when the detent portion (36) is holding the outward end (26) of the second arm member (20) in a set position relatively adjacent the outward end (22) of the first arm member (18). In this position, there is stored spring energy such that movement of the trigger member (36) will release the outward end (26) of the second arm member (20) causing the jaw portion (28) to be moved by the spring (16) across the loop portion (24) toward the side (30) opposite the first arm member (18) to forcefully clamp the animal (14) within the loop portion (24).
