ABSTRACT:
A lever is pivotally mounted in the back of a cage at the center of the lever and is balanced therein. The lever has a first end in the cage with a tray thereon for bait and a spaced opposite second end movably positioned between a first pair of spaced parallel posts supported a predetermined distance from the back of the cage. A trip rod has a length longer than the distance between the posts and rests on the lever between the posts and the cage. A cord has a first end affixed to the front bottom edge of a trap door hingedly affixed to the top of the cage at the front thereof and a spaced opposite second end affixed to the center of the trip rod. The cord is guided along the top of the cage and around the cross bar in a manner whereby the trap door is held open and when an animal depresses the front end of the lever by taking the bait, the second end of the lever moves upward and knocks the trip rod free thereby slackening the cord so that the trap door is released and closed.
