<p>Our File No. 12234 A novel mouse trap is provided herein. The mouse trap includes a base, a sensing platform, a spring loaded garrot wire movable between a sprint-loaded position extending rearwardly of the base and a springreleased, tripped position extending forwardly of the base, holding means for holding the garrot wire in its spring-loaded position, and a trip bar for releasing the holding means to allow the garrot wire to move to the spring-released, tripped position. The essence of the invention resides in the provision of the trip bar releasing means as a linkage extending rearwardly from the sensing platform to the holding means, the linkage lying beneath the garrot wire when the garrot wire is in the springloaded position.</p> |
