ABSTRACT:
An animal trap comprises an enclosure with an open end. An apertured member is connected to the enclosure for pivoting parallel to the plane defined by the open end. The member can pivot between a set position where the aperture coincides with the open end of the enclosure and a released position where the member is pivoted away from the enclosure. A spring biases the member to the released position. A catch secures the member in the set position. A release including a portion for securing bait can release the member, allowing it to pivot to the released position. An animal intruding through the aperture of the pivotable member and the open end of the enclosure and disturbing the bait will be struck and caught in the region of the animal's neck between the pivotable member and the enclosure as the pivotable member pivots to the released position.
