Embodiment Construction

[0042] In describing the preferred embodiments of the invention illustrated in the drawings, specific technical terminology has been used for the sake of clarity. However, the selected specific technical terms are not intended to limit the invention, and it is understood that each specific element includes all technical equivalents that can operate in a similar manner to achieve a similar effect.

[0043] Such as figure 1 As shown, the single-door cage trap of the present invention, generally designated by the reference numeral 10, comprises a box-shaped cage having an elongated bottom 12 and a corresponding top 14 and opposing side walls 16 and 18, preferably formed of a single wire mesh. The pieces are formed and folded. The side walls extend between the longitudinal edges 20, 22 of the bottom 12 and the longitudinal edges 24, 26 of the top 14 to form generally mutually parallel planes. The bottom and top are also generally parallel to each other. The rear of the trap is ...

Abstract

A cage-type animal trap with two opposed animal access openings that can operate in a one-door-opening configuration or a two-door-opening configuration. The trap has an over-center set mechanism for holding one or both doors open to allow access through the corresponding trap access openings. The set mechanism includes a pivotally mounted set lever coupled to the doors of the trap by an actuating member. A bait pedal is movably mounted inside the trap with a trip rod and link assembly secured to the pedal and to the set mechanism so that when an animal enters the trap, the weight of the animal moves the pedal, causing the trip rod and link assembly to actuate the set mechanism. Upon actuation, the set lever pivots past its over-center position to allow movement of the actuating member which enables one of the doors to move from an opened position to a closed position when the trap is operating in a one-door-opening configuration, and both of the doors to move from the opened positionto the closed position when the trap is operating in the two-door-opening configuration.

Description

[0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of co-pending US Serial No. 11 / 600,085 filed November 16, 2006, the priority of which is hereby claimed. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a cage-type animal trap, which is generally used for trapping small to medium-sized animals in the wild without harming the trapped animals. Such traps typically include a cage or the like constructed of wire mesh or the like, with a door capable of being held open by a trigger mechanism until the animal is lured into the trap by a suitable bait placed in advance. up to the device. After the animal enters the interior of the trap, the animal's weight presses against the trigger mechanism and triggers the trip mechanism, which releases and closes the cage door, thereby trapping the animal inside the cage. Background technique [0003] Prior art cage traps have a special set and release mechanism that typically consists of a chassis, trigger lever, latch, cage door, ...
