SNAP TRAP

摘要

The disclosure relates to a snap trap for small animals such as mice or rats, comprising a striking device which can be brought into a striking position and a standby position. The snap trap comprises a housing with a base and with an elongate inner compartment which is open at both longitudinal ends, at one longitudinal end of which an inlet opening leading to an, in particular tunnel-shaped, inlet section of the housing is arranged and at the other longitudinal end of which the striking device is arranged in a striking region of the housing. The disclosure is distinguished by the fact that the striking device is designed for at least partially closing an end opening of the inner compartment in the striking region of the housing and in particular completely closes the opening when the striking device is in the striking position.

1. A snap trap for small animals, such as mice or rats, having a striking device, which can be brought into a striking position and a standby position, comprising a housing with a floor and an elongate interior, which is open at the two longitudinal ends and has an entry opening to an, in particular tunnel-like, entry portion of the housing arranged at its one longitudinal end and has the striking device arranged at its other longitudinal end, in a striking region of the housing, wherein the striking device comprises a striking lever and a triggering lever, and the striking lever can be pre-tensioned counter to the spring force of a striking-spring element as it transfers from the striking position into the standby position, wherein the striking lever can be arrested in the standby position such that it can be released directly or indirectly by the triggering lever, and the triggering lever is arranged such that the arresting of the striking lever can be released via the triggering lever by a small animal being present in the interior,
wherein the striking device is designed for at least partially closing an end-side opening of the interior in the striking region of the housing, in particular it completely closes the opening when the striking device is in the striking position.
