IMPROVEMENT m ANlNlAL-TRAPS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 173,183, dated February 8, 1876; application filed 1 December 18, 1875.
To'all'whom it may concern:
; Be it known that I, CYRUS W. SALADEE,
of Washington city, in the District of Golumbia, have invented certain Improvements in Animal-Traps, of which the following is a specification embodying my said invention:
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I herewith-submit the following general description The nature of my invention consists in providing a spring for animal-traps, so formed that the two side prongs A A shall have a and bed-plate seen in Fig. 1 and Fig; 3 is a plan view of the bed-plate, with a modification of my spring, made of round steel, so formed as to act in the same manner as the flat steel spring seen in Fig. 2.
A A are the two prongs of the spring. N D
A represent the end of the spring united with,
and made as a part of, the prongs A. B B is what I term the cross-head of the spring.
In Fig. 2 the spring is represented as punched out of sheet-steel inone piece, and secured to the bed-plate H by means of rivets I I.
The opening 0 receives the ends of the jaws, as seen in Fig. 1f Now, it will be observed that asthe point A of the spring is depressed inthe act of setting the trap, the prongs A A, being flexible, will bend along their whole length, while the cross-head B B will have a torsional action. Thus, one spring has the compound torsional and flexible action of the steel of which it is composed.
In all cases where the manufacturer may prefer, the cross-head B B of the spring may be formed as a separate piece. So, likewise,
the side prongs A A and end D N A of the spring may each be formed separately, and all these separate parts may be secured together by means of rivets; but I prefer to stamp the spring out of sheet-steel in one piece, as represented in Fig. 2.
The same compound flexible and torsional action is provided form a spring formed of one piece of round steel wire bent and secured to the bed-plate, as seen in Fig. 3. In
this case the prongs A A are made to pass into a suitably-formed spring-head, D N A.
This modification of the spring will be found I very desirable in the light grade of this class of traps.
I cla-im- A spring consisting of two flexible side prongs, A A, and the torsional cross-head B, combined with the bed-plate and jaws of a trap, substantially as herein set forth.
