ABSTRACT:
An animal trap comprising a pair of open frame rectangular sections hinged together by one side thereof and having a heavy duty spring normally biassing the frames towards one another. A trigger and bait holder or assembly is provided to hold the frames apart in the set position and includes a first member pivoted by one end thereof to one of the frames and engaging a cross bar of the other frame by the other end thereof. A second member is pivoted to the other end and extends upwardly between the open frames and bait may be impaled on the distal end. The other end by which it is pivotally secured to the first member, projects downwardly and also engages the cross bar so that if the second member is pivoted or moved slightly by an animal attempting to remove the bait, the first member is rocked clear of the bar thus allowing the trap to be sprung. A cover can be incorporated which covers the trap and the animal when the trap is sprung, thus protecting the pelt.
