US Patent:

20060150471, Jul 13, 2006

Filed:

Jan 7, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/031442

Inventors:

Thomas Holtgrefe - Cincinnati OH, US

International Classification:

A01M 23/26

US Classification:

043088000

Abstract:

A mole trap has a pair of spring-loaded jaws. A platform is pivotally connected to the jaws to limit the travel of the trap into the ground and to stabilize the trap on the ground when it is set. A lever assembly forces the jaws open and sets the trap. An adjustable trigger mechanism is positioned on the ground above a mole burrow. The disturbance of a mole traveling beneath the trigger causes the lever assembly to collapse, thereby permitting the jaws to close and destroy the animal.

Appl. No.:

6/533288

Inventors:

Thomas H. Holtgrefe - Cincinnati OH

International Classification:

A01M 2318

US Classification:

43 61

Abstract:

An improved live animal trap consisting of an elongated cylinder having at least one open end. Gravity operated doors are disposed at each open end, the doors being movable between an opened and a closed or sealed position. A treadle for actuating a triggering mechanism is disposed approximately in the center of the trap and is operatively connected to a triggering mechanism also completely disposed within the trap. The triggering mechanism is then operatively attached to the doors. When the treadle is activated by an animal entering the trap, the triggering mechanism is displaced, releasing the gravity operated doors which then simultaneously fall into place trapping the animal.

Thomas H. Holtgrefe - Cincinnati OH

International Classification:

A01M 2326

US Classification:

43 94

Abstract:

The present invention includes a mole trap having a pair of spring-loaded jaws. A platform is pivotally connected to the jaws to limit the travel of the trap into the ground and to stabilize the trap on the ground when it is set. A lever assembly forces the jaws open and sets the trap when the lever reaches an off-center position. An adjustable trigger mechanism is positioned on the ground above a mole borrow. The vibration of a mole traveling beneath the trigger causes the lever assembly to move upward from the off-center position and the jaws to close and destroy the animal.
