ABSTRACT:
An improved frame for a rotating frame animal trap, wherein, when the trap is viewed in closed position, an outer portion of at least one of the ends of the frame encircled by the actuator rings is so shaped, as it progresses radially outwardly from the axis of rotation of the frames, that it extends to a point out of the common plane of the jaws of the frame on the side thereof remote from the other frame, and thence returns to said plane wherein it connects with one end of a jaw. The point may be located at a distance from the axis of rotation about the same as or greater than the distance of said jaw from this axis. The actuator rings of the trap according to this construction are adapted to exert sufficient clamping force on the jaws of the trap to quickly kill a desired animal trapped therein. Where the point is located at a greater distance from the axis of rotation than is the jaw in question, then it is made more difficult for the actuator ring to slide over the corresponding corners of the frames of the trap onto the jaws thereof.
