ABSTRACT:
An improved trigger mechanism of the push-pull type which is particularly useful for a rotating frame animal trap, the present trigger mechanism causing the trap to be sprung on contact therewith by the animal regardless of the direction from which such contact occurs. The present trigger mechanism is slidably mounted on a frame member of the trap, the free ends of spaced prongs extending from the frame member toward the interior of the trap. A body member of the trigger mechanism mounts the spaced prongs, the anterior ends of the spaced prongs extending into overlapping engagement with the frame member and being movable relative thereto. The body member has an arcuate recess on an upper surface portion thereof, the recess loosely receiving at least a portion of the frame member therein.
