ABSTRACT:
A repeating animal trap assembly comprising a capture unit and a holding unit with means releasably associating the two units. The capture unit defines a compartment having at least one entry opening and at least one exit opening. The holding unit defines an enlarged compartment having an entry opening which in the assembled relationship of the units is aligned with the exit opening of the capture unit to provide communication between the compartments in the two units. Doors are provided for the capture unit entry and exit openings with means for automatically closing the entry doors and opening the exit door when an animal is totally within the capture unit compartment. Preferably, the animal is frightened by a light flashing and passes into the holding unit compartment where further means are actuated to automatically close the exit door and open the entry doors to the capture unit compartment so that additional animals may be captured. Both electrical and mechanical means are disclosed to operate the various doors and in the preferred embodiments the doors are balanced so that they remain in a given position once they have been moved to that position without expending any energy until the actuating means are again energized to move the doors to their alternate position.
