<p>ANIMAL TRAP A spring type trap includes a coil spring with two arms terminating in horizontal loops one above the other, with the spring normally urging the loops apart. A flexible snare loop component is secured to the lower horizontal loop by the ends thereof and the wire extends through an apertured plate spanning the upper loop thus forming a snare loop above said upper arm when the trap is in the set position. When sprung, the upper loop moves upwardly away from the lower loop thus tightening the snare loop. Two trigger assemblies are provided. The first assembly has a treadle plate which, when depressed, releases a trigger. This is used primarily for land set. The second assembly has a pair of wires extending upwardly across the snare loop and actuating the trigger if an animal brushes against the wires from either direction. This second assembly is used primarily for water or trail sets.</p> |
