ABSTRACT:
A folding grapple for traps as used for trapping upland animals and the like consists of a primary grapple member formed of an elongated rod provided with an eye at one end thereof and two oppositely disposed hooks at the other end. The said eye is at substantially right angles to the axis of the rod with the hole formed by the eye having a central axis parallel to the rod axis. A cam loop member is integrally fastened to the rod approximately midway between said eye and the bottom end of the hooks. Cooperating with this main grapple member is a second grapple member formed of an elongated rod with one hook formed integrally with the rod at one end of same and with an eye structure at the other end of same. This second eye structure is formed in a plane in alignment with the axis through the rod so that the hole formed by the eye has a central axis perpendicular to the rod axis. A limit disc is integrally fastened to this rod a short distance away from the eye portion. A fourth hook is integrally fastened to the second rod by welding or the like in a special manner and with a specially formed shape to complement a special shape provided at the midpoint of said second rod to provide a built-in camming curve combination of said second rod together with the fourth point member. The second rod member is mounted so that the specially configured cam portion thereof slides along the inner surface of the cam loop fastened to the main rod member. The limit disc near the eye end of the second rod also is associated with the right angle eye of the main rod member and outside thereof. A chain or flexible cable member connects the eye of the second rod member to the trap as used for catching desired animals.
