<p>An animal trap of the leghold type having low impact force, in which the means for lessening the impact force of the jaws comprises a pair of upstanding legs on either side of a leaf spring which biases the legs together, and an inertial snubber having an arm and an offset crank pivotally mounted in bores in the legs, the crank being operatively engaged by the spring, before impact of the jaws, to absorb excess spring energy and cause the spring travel to lag behind the jaw travel.</p> |
