ABSTRACT:
An animal trap has two legs that are urged together by a spring, but are prevented from such movement by a pivotable cap on the end of one leg when the trap is set. A tongue mounted on a sleeve on the same leg as the cap prevents the cap from pivoting until an animal rotates the sleeve by displacing a trigger arm mounted on the sleeve. The cap has a convex tab which coacts with the flat tongue to permit the trap to be tripped even upon an incomplete rotation of the sleeve by the animal.
