ABSTRACT:
A device (10) for assisting in the safe setting of traps (12) is disclosed including an elongated handle (34) and a portion (36) for removable engagement with the cross bar (32) and arm (23) of the striker (16) of the trap (12). The removable engagement portion (36) includes a hook (38) for slideably receiving a length of the cross bar (32) and a finger (46) for abutting with the arm (23) at a point located on the opposite side of the striker (16) than the lip (40) of the hook (38) and in a nonlinear position relative to the connecting leg (44) of the hook (38). The device (10) may be positioned to overlie the striker (16) in its first, trapping position and then pulled outward to pull the lip (40) of the hook (38) beneath the cross bar (32) and with the finger (46) overlying the arm (23) of the striker (16). When the handle (34) is raised, the device (10) will pivot about the cross bar (32) inside of the hook (38) until the finger (46) abuts with the arm (23). Upon continued movement of the handle (34), the striker (16) will pivot relative to the base (14) of the trap (12) to its second, set position. After the trip bar (24) has been engaged with the trigger (28) and the trap (12) placed at the desired position, the device (10) may be moved inwardly to release the cross bar (32) from the hook (38) and then pulled outwardly from the trap (12) intermediate the cross bar (32) and the base (14) of the trap (12).
