ABSTRACT:
A trap apparatus includes an elongated base plate defining a trap aperture in a lower portion thereof, and a pointed bottom end. Slide grooves are defined along each side of the base plate. A trigger arm extends over the trap aperture, and is pivotally attached to move away from and toward the base plate. A slide plate is engaged in the slide grooves and slides up to a raised cocked position where the slide plate is above the trap aperture, to a lower tripped position. A bias element exerts a downward bias force on the slide plate toward the tripped position. Trip elements on the arm and slide plate engage to maintain the slide plate in the cocked position. Movement of the lower end of the trigger arm away from the base plate releases the slide plate to move to the tripped position in response to the bias force.
