ABSTRACT:
The present device is an improved stand and trigger mechanism for a body gripping trap, having first and second rectangular frames which are pivotally mounted to each other for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis from a set position to a sprung position. Springs yieldably bias the frames from the set position to the sprung position. The rectangular frames each have a horizontal member, and the horizontal members of the two frames are in adjacent spaced relation to one another when the frames are in the set position. The horizontal members move away from one another as the frames move from the set position to the sprung position. The release mechanism comprises a trigger frame positioned between the horizontal members, and a pair of trigger arms mounted to the trigger frame for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis. Each of the trigger arms has a shoulder facing the trigger frame and being movable from a catch position wherein the shoulders of the two trigger arms retentively embrace the horizontal frame members therebetween and hold the frame members in a set position to a release position wherein the shoulders move out of retentive engagement with the horizontal frame members and free the frame members for movement to their sprung position.
