ABSTRACT:
An animal trap and ball detent trigger means therefor is disclosed. The trap is of shaft and block construction with the cable carrying block spring biased toward one end of the shaft. The shaft is longitudinally bored at one end thereof with a transverse bore intersecting the longitudinal bore for receiving ball bearings to be used for detaining the cable carrying block in a set position against a spring bias. A plunger extends into the longitudinal bore for reciprocating between a position holding the ball bearings in a block detaining position and a position in which the ball bearings may be forced inwardly into the shaft to release the block. The plunger and a trigger member are spring biased in a home set position. The trigger member has a conically shaped end which rests in a correspondingly conically shaped trigger block with one end of the plunger in spring bias contact therewith. The disturbance of the trigger member from its home position causes the trigger to rock in its conical recess and thereby apply a reciprocating lateral force to the plunger releasing the detaining force of the balls from the cable block.
