ABSTRACT:
An animal trap has an elongated base member; a pair of opposed trap jaws are disposed longitudinally of the base member and pivotally connected at their end portions to corresponding end portions of the base member for relative pivotal movement; a spring member is secured to the base member and operable to pivot the jaws from an open position to a closed position where they will entrap an animal; a jaw release member pivotally is secured at one end to an end portion of the base member for movement from a substantially vertical position wherein it engages and holds the jaws open, to an outwardly extending position where it leaves the jaws free to close, the member has protrusions thereon which engage and hold the jaws open until the release member is struck by the head of an animal so as to cause the release member to pivot outwardly away from the jaws thus releasing the jaws to capture the animal therebetween.
