ANIMAL TRAP

摘要

A trap of the type including generally C-shaped jaws pivotally mounted for movement between the open or set position and the closed or sprung position includes a base plate for supporting the jaws and the usual pawl, trigger lever and trigger plate; a generally U-shaped spring for biasing the jaws closed; and a semi-cylindrical fence integral with the base plate which, when the trap is placed on the mouth of a burrow, defines a tunnel extending in essentially the same direction as such mouth; i.e., the tunnel is substantially coaxial with the mouth of the burrow for directing the animal into the trap and preventing the entry of larger animals into the trap.
