<p>A mouse or rat trap (2) comprises a base (20), a striker (4) and an actuator (40), which are releasably connected, in combination with a spring (14) for biasing the striker (4) to a closed position. The components cooperate to provide a trap (2) which is easier to operate. An extension spring (14) is used to bias the trap to a closed position and in the set position, the spring force is primarily carried by the striker (4) and base (20) in a manner to increase the sensitivity of the actuator (40), as only a small load is carried by the surfaces of the actuator (40) and striker (4), maintaining the striker (4) in set position. Preferably, all components other than the spring (14) are of a molded plastic and snap fit together.</p> |
