UNITED 'rares ERNEST M. REED, OF WILLIAMSBURG TOWNSHIP, CLERMONT GONTY, OHIO.
IMPROVEMENT IN MOLE-TRAPS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 156,432, datcd May 5, 1874; application filed March 2, 1874.
` price.
In the drawing, Figures l and 2 are Views of the trap, respectively set and sprung. Fig. 3 is a side view. Fig. tis a View of the spikeboard and rod. Fig. 5 is a view of the board, showing arrangement of spikes.
Similar letters of reference indicate correspending parts.-
A is the frame, to which the movable parts are attached. B is the upper, and O the lowertrigger-lever; D,the trigger; E, rod, connecting upper lever with trigger; F, rod for guiding the spike-board J, and with its notch i connecting it with upper lever B; G, spiral spring for operating the spike-board; H, piece connecting the two sides of the frame and arched highenough to span the mole-hill, I, spikes attached to board J.
It is operated as follows: After having conipressed the ground at the place where the trigger-lever O operates, the trap is securely anchored, by means of stakes or weights, with the arches H spanning the mole-hill. The rod E is slipped on the trigger D, as shown in Fig. 1. The lower lever C is then attached, as shown, after which the rod F is drawn up by its handle a at the top, which compresses the spiral spring G until the end of upper leverB engages iu-the notch The trap is sprung by the upward pressure of the mole 011 the tri gger-lever O at u, thus disengaging the tripper D, which in turn detaches the rod E and lever B from the notch@l on the rod F and releases the spiral spring G, which, acting on the board J, operates the spikes, for the pur pose as hereinbefore described.
I claim as my invention- The improved moletrap, consisting of the frame A, spairpieces H, spike-board J, rod and spring F G, levers B O, connecting-rod and trigger E D, all constructed and arranged to operate substantially l,as described and shown. l
