ABSTRACT:
A rodent trap having a pair of closure surfaces having a large ratio of surface area with reference to size of the rodent to be trapped. The closure surfaces are integrally joined by a flexible hinge defining a thin bending hinge between the first and second closure areas. The hinge operates to create an angulation relative to the floor of the first and second closure surfaces. The hinge is bridged by elastic bands which, in the absence of any pressure on the closure surfaces, maintains the closure surfaces at an angle relative to the floor. The application of the weight of a rodent at or near the hinge will press the hinge toward the floor thereby destabilizing the elastic bands and bringing about a rapid snap-like closure of the closure surfaces, completely enclosing and trapping the rodent.
