ABSTRACT:
An animal trap having two similar frames each having jaw forming sides that lie in a common plane and ends extending therebetween to support the jaws. The ends have a central portion in which the frames are pivotally connected through adjacent ends for rotation about a common axis between set and closed positions. Outer portions on each side of the central portion extend to the jaws. At least one actuator is capable of rapidly and forcefully effecting the rotation. The actuator has two arms spring-biased at one end so that the other ends, which terminate in rings encircling adjacent ends of both frames on opposite sides of said axis, would, if unobstructed, move apart to a distance substantially greater than the length of the frame ends. A trigger means releasably maintains the trap in the set position. The trigger means comprises a pivotally mounted treadle extending between the frames of the trap. Engagement means are associated with the treadle. A lever extends, when the trap is in the set position, from engagement with the engagement means to engage both frames of the trap to retain them in set position. Engagement with one frame is by a pivotal link whereby movement of the treadle releases the engagement of the lever with the engagement means to release the trap from the set position. The trap has no immediately visible obstruction when in the set position and the trigger displays good sensitivity.
