ABSTRACT:
There is provided, for an animal trap having a portion which attaches to an animal when the latter springs the trap, said portion being capable of being affixed with respect to the terrain, the improvement of providing a shock-absorbing capability to the trap. This capability arises through the provision of an apparatus through which the previously mentioned portion can be affixed with respect to the terrain. The apparatus includes a resilient member between the portion attaching to an animal and the fixed location with respect to the terrain, the resilient member being in parallel with a substantially non-resilient connection also between the portion which attaches to an animal and the location of fixing with respect to the terrain. Thus, if the trapped animal should lunge away from the trap, the resilient member will absorb at least some of the resulting shock so that injury to the animal can be minimized. The substantially non-resilient attachment portion is provided to ensure that the resilient member does not exceed its elastic limit during its extension.
