ABSTRACT:
A humane animal trap has a pair of pivotally connected jaws each having a circular periphery, the jaws being spring-biased to a closed position. The jaws may be automatically set in an open position and to that end one jaw has a pair of rail members extending through the other jaw which members pivotally support a sear member provided with locking means in the form of a notch. The other jaw has a projection thereon extending to between the rail members. As the jaws are moved apart the projection will be brought into registry with the notch and will automatically engage therewith to hold the jaws apart. Bait is secured to a holder attached to the sear member and when an animal attempts to take the bait the notch disengages from the projection allowing the spring to strongly drive the jaws together, trapping the animal. The automatic nature of the setting mechanism means that the trap will be safe for the user as he can devote all his strength to the opening of the trap without having to think about or act separately on the setting or trigger mechanism.
