ABSTRACT:
A trap has a body having an end formed with a first opening. Rotatably mounted on the end is a closure shaped with a second opening. The closure has an open position with the openings aligned so the animal may enter the body and a closed position with the closure blocking the first opening to prevent escape. The closure is releaseably held in open position by a pin slideably mounted in the end passing through a hole in the closure. Bait in the body is connected by a cord to the pin so that when an animal attempts to carry off the bait the pin is pulled out of the hole and the closure pivots to closed position. A treadle may be mounted inside the body and connected to the cord. When an animal steps on the treadle it pivots to pull the cord away from the end to pull the pin as an alternative way to close the trap. Counterbalancing of the closure and of the treadle make the triggering of the closure very sensitive.
