A snare trap is provided, including a trigger base and a snare assembly. The snare assembly includes a cable having a noose, an abutting mechanism sleeved on the cable, a restricting mechanism disposed on the cable and an elastic member disposed between the abutting mechanism and the restricting mechanism. The noose is releasably disposed around the trigger base, and the elastic member is compressible and restricted by the restricting mechanism. The elastic member includes a plurality of segments connected with one another, and at least one of the plurality of segments includes a plurality of coils each having an outer diametric dimension different from an outer diametric dimension of another one of the plurality of coils. When the noose is disposed around the trigger base and the elastic member is compressed, at least two of the plurality of coils are radially overlapped with each other.

The present invention relates to the use of vibration and/or shock data measured in a rechargeable trap during activation of the trap's killing means to identify the size and/or species of a target animal killed during said activation.

The invention relates to device that cooperates with a typical foot snare (i.e. a one comprised of a cable loop and spring compression) to capture an animal without harming the animal. The device is triggered by and relies on the momentum generated by an animal, such as a bear, when reaching into the device and pulling up the bait. The momentum of from the animal grabbing the bait actuates a cable loop foot snare via the compression spring and the cable loop ascends and closes around the appendage of the animal, with the lock securing the cable loop on the animal without harming the animal.

A snare trap has a cable, a spring and a trigger. A traveling loop slidingly engages the cable and creates a snare loop. A locking mechanism locks the snare loop onto the cable. The spring has a first arm and a second arm. The first arm and the second arm are biased towards an open orientation such that the spring in the open position appears sprung. The ends of the first arm and the second arm slidingly engage the cable. The trigger is movable between a set position in which the trigger tip contacts the second arm of the spring and holds the spring in a closed position such that the first arm and the second arm are tensioned towards each other and an unset position in which the trigger tip does not contact the second arm of the spring.

Conventional mouse traps include a spring biased arm temporarily held open by a hold down bar, which is dislodged when a mouse releases a catch. Accordingly, a more robust vermin trap comprises: a housing; a catcher pivotally mounted on the housing, configured to be held in a set position and forced into a sprung position for trapping the vermin, and a latch. The latch comprising: an actuator, and a latching lever spring biased into the sprung position, and configured to be rotated closed in the set position. A striker mechanism is connected to the catcher for engaging the latching lever in the set position and disengaged from the latching lever in the sprung position, for moving the catcher from the set position to the sprung position. A trigger activates the actuator, thereby releasing the latching lever, and disengaging the striker mechanism from the latch, enabling the catcher to move to the sprung position to trap the vermin.
