Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 25, 1907.
Application filed September 26, 1906. Serial No- 336,319.
$0 at whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, KNOX R. MARKs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Abingdon, in the county of Knox and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Trap, of which the following is a specification. 1
This invention has relationto mouse and rat traps, and it consists in the novel construction and arrangement of the parts, as hereinafter shown and described.
The object of the invention is to provide a mouse trap of simple and cheap construction and one in which the parts may be easily and readily struck up by machinery and quickly assembled.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the trap, and Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view of the same.
The trap comprises the parallelepiped base 1 having the stirrup 2 passing under the same and projecting at its ends above the upper surface thereof the vertical portions of the stirrup being set in the edges of the base. The pivot 3 is located at its ends in the ends of the said stirrup. The trigger 4 is pivoted at or near the rear end of the base 1. The bow 5 is mounted upon the pivot 3, said bowing being provided in its side with elongated perforations 6. The coil springs 7 surround the pivot 3 and are attached at their inner ends to the base 1 and their outer ends project through the perforations 6 in the sides of the bow 5. The treadle S is provided at its outer end with a bait depression 9 and is provided along its longitudinal edges with the downwardly extending flanges 10. Said flanges are perforated, as at 11, and the pivot tion of theend portion 12 with relation to the body portion of the treadle 8, the angle of in olination of the said treadle with relation to the base 1 may be varied. By providing-the portion 12 of the treadle with a depression, instead of a perforation, the end of the trigger 4 is prevented from slipping laterally and accidentally disengaging the said portion 12. As the bow 5 is made from thin, fiat rod, the said bow is not liable to bend laterally and thus it is positive in retaining the animal. It will be observed that the treadle 8 and its attachments are all made from a piece of sheet metal which may be struck up upon a machine by one operation.
Having described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A trap comprising a base, a stirrup passing under the base, and having its ends projecting above the upper surface thereof, a portion of said stirrup lying within a recess in the base, a pivoted bow mounted upon the stirrup, springs engaging said bow, a pivoted treadle mounted upon the base, and a pivoted trigger also mounted uponthe base and adapted to engage said treadle.
2. A trap comprising a base, a stirrup passing under the base and having its ends projecting above the upper surface thereof, the vertical portions of the stirrup being set in the edges of the base, a pivoted bow mounted upon the stirrup, springs engaging said bow, a pivoted treadle mounted upon the base, and a pivoted trigger also mounted upon the base and adapted to engage said treadle.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto afliXed my signature in he presence of two Witnesses.
