EBENEZER OLIVER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
IMPROVEMENT IN ANlMAL-TRAPS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 166,802, dated August 17, 1875; application filed July 3, 1875.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EBENEZER OLIVER, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Animal-Trap, of which the following is a specification:
Figure l is a top view of my improved trap, set. 2 is a front view of the same, closedor sprung. Fig. 3 is a side view of the forward part of the same, closed, part being broken away to show the locking device. Fig. 4 is a side view of the forward part of the same, open.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. I
The invention will first be described in connection with drawing, and then pointed out in the claims.
7 A is the body of the trap, which is made with an offset, a, in the front edge of its top, as shown in Fig. 1, which offset a is formed by bending back the upper part of the front wire of the frame. B is the door, which is hinged to the body A in the usual way, and is provided with a lever, 12 for setting it, and for a handle in opening it. 0 is a wire, the ends of which are secured to the front wire of the frame of the body A, at the shoulders of the ofiset a. Around the wire 0 is coiled a spring, D, one end of which is secured to the body A, and its other end is secured to the door B. The door B is provided with up right wires at a little distance from the side wires b of its frame, and at which the crosswires stop, the side wires b of the frame being thus left free. The door B is made a little narrower than the opening in the forward end of the trap, and in the space thus left at each. side of the said door is placed a wire,
E. The lower ends of the wires E are secured to the front edge of the bottom F, and their upper ends are secured to the front wire of the body A of the trap. G are triangular or other shaped rings, which pass around the side wires 1) of the door-frame and around the wires E.
To open the door B the rings are slipped up to the upper ends of the wires 1) E, and the door may then be opened in the usual way. To enable the door B to be opened into a horizontal position, outward bends e are formed in the upper parts of the wires E to prevent the said rings Gr from binding.
When the trap is sprung the rings G slide down upon the wires 1) E, and fasten the door B securely, so that no effort of the animal can open it.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent l. The combination of front body-wire, having offset a, with the short wire 0, to enable coiled spring D to be applied, as shown and described.
2. The trap-door B, having bottom wire prolonged laterally at each side, and having vertical extensions 1) I), in combination with vertical wires E E attached to body-frame to allow the rings G to work, as specified.
3. The bends e, formed in the upper part of the wires E, in combination with the sliding rings G and the wires b substantially as and for the purpose herein shown and described.
