ABSTRACT:
A wild game trap including two multiangulated trap arms having an eye at one end mounted for rotation about a common pivot bolt and a power spring including a lower spring arm terminating in an eye mounted on the pivot bolt and an upper spring arm terminating in a constriction bar in the form of a loop receiving the pivot eyes, the pivot bolt and a portion of each of the multiangulated trap arms when they are pivoted to an animal gripping position. A trigger assembly is provided for retaining the multiangulated trap arms in open position when the trap is set. In one embodiment of the trigger assembly, a rolling block is mounted on one trap arm and a lock is pivotally connected to the lower spring arm for engagement with a catch on the trap arm. In another embodiment of the trigger assembly, the lock is mounted on the spring arm by a one-piece resilient bracket. In a further embodiment of the trigger assembly, the lock is pivoted to a hinge bracket and includes a curved member overlying one of the trap arms and engaging a catch on the rolling block on the trap arm. In all embodiments, the trigger assembly releases the trap from its set position in response to movement of a trigger in any of four directions.
