Description

It is already a predator trap known in which a bait space from an annular Trap space is enclosed. The latter is fully accessible and permitted the animals a free romp in the room. The invention also makes use of the arrangement of the trap area around the bait area, but it forms the trap for To make predators suitable in such a way that

ίο the animal that has slipped in does not turn around can still overturn, but can only circle forwards * around the bait space. Included it must be the inwardly flapping door or flap of the single entry opening close in the trap area in passing without the possibility of them open for exit.

ao give way to the trapped animal, it cannot appear suspicious to it and is easily removed weather.

The drawing shows an expedient embodiment of the subject matter of the invention.

a5 of the shown in which bait and fishing space have a common base and lid, of which the lid is partially used for the purpose of access to the fishing and bait space can be opened.

FIG. 1 shows a vertical section and FIG. 2 is a plan view,

The inner round space l accommodating the living bait α is provided with a correspondingly narrow rod or wire mesh

or surrounded by a wire mesh stiffened by rods, which is also impermeable to small predators in order to prevent the bait from being endangered by them. The ring-shaped trap chamber c surrounding the interior space b is delimited on the outside by a bar lattice wall d. The rod distance can be made considerably larger here. The ceiling e of the trap is expediently common in rooms b and c , as is the floor /. The latter, consists of wooden boards, while the ceiling is made up of the walls. Latticework. One half of the ceiling or the lid is firmly connected to the outer walls, while the other half e ^{1 can be} opened and z. B. ' can be locked by fastener g . The part of the lid half that covers the interior space b for the bait is again provided with a more closely meshed latticework, such as B. wire mesh or wire mesh, covered to deny entry to small carnivores. In the outer wall of the annular trap chamber c there is an inlet opening h which can be closed by a door or flap which flaps inward about a vertical axis i and is prevented from rotating outward by a stop I.

The trap is set up after the bait a has been inserted. "Attracted by the bait, the predator finds the entrance through the yielding flap k and slips into the ring-shaped trap, the height and width of which are so dimensioned that the animal can neither turn around nor roll over in the trap Looking for an entrance to the cage of the bait only slip forward, but not,
