ABSTRACT:
This box-type trap has a floor, two side walls, a rear wall, and a front wall with entrance opening, with a unit consisting of a top, closing lid and a front, sliding trapdoor, the triggering mechanism, and a dividing partition with bait opening hingedly attached to the rear wall, so that when the lid is closed, the trap is divided into a front entrance compartment and a smaller rear bait compartment. A strand of string, wire or other suitable material is stretched across the bait opening and attached to a pin at the bottom of the bait opening so that the animal cannot reach the bait without either biting through the strand or dislodging it from the pin. The other end of the strand is guided through a keeper, hook or eyelets along the inside of the trap to the trapdoor, which is suspended from the strand so as to allow it to slide downward when the tension on the strand is released, closing the entrance to the trap. On the front wall is mounted a dual-purpose tension device. The lower portion of this tension device will slip over the top of the trapdor when the trap has been triggered, preventing it from re-opening; the upper portion secures the lid, keeping the top of the trap closed.
