An animal trap device is disclosed and includes a base, a circular cover plate, an elastic element and an elastic lasso. The circular cover plate further includes a top portion, and a surrounding portion; wherein the surrounding portion surrounds a circumference of the top portion. The top portion has a support disc and a flange protruding from a side surface of the support disc. The elastic element is configured between the base and the circular cover plate, and adapted to provide the top portion with an upward elastic force. The elastic lasso is wound around the surrounding portion, and positioned below the flange. The elastic lasso will be blocked by the flange and the surrounding portion, retained in an open position until leaving the surrounding portion when the top portion is exerted with a force to move downward.

A land animal snare barrier comprising a first layer of netting and a second layer of netting. The first layer defining a first plurality of through holes of a first size. The second layer defining a second plurality of through holes of a second size. Each layer has a width that measures between 9 inches and 24 inches.

A snare trap has a cable, a spring and a trigger. The cable has a snare end and a tether end. The snare end has a stop and the tether end has a tether attachment to which a tether may be attached for holding the cable in position. A travelling loop slidingly engages the cable and has a first aperture and a second aperture through which the cable may pass to create a snare loop. The first aperture of the travelling loop has a locking mechanism to lock the first aperture 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 on the cable. The trigger has a connection end and a trigger tip. The connection end slidingly engages the first arm of the spring. 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.

Disclosed herein is a non-spring based lock mechanism, described as a lock and lever, telescoping slide assembly comprising an elongated, stationary, multi-faceted tube. Also disclosed is a snaring tool employing the non spring based lock mechanism for gripping items such as industrial pipe and other large moving items which can be ensnared. An optional locking pin mechanism can be added to the lock and lever slide assembly to avoid accidental release of the gripping means.

The present invention broadly includes an aquatic snare, an outer rod having a distal end and a proximal end, an inner rod having a distal end and a proximal end, the inner rod slidable within the outer rod, a lasso connected to the proximal end of the inner rod, a knob connected to the distal end of the inner rod, the aquatic snare having a locking mechanism, comprising a depressor, selector, and a tension plate, the selector moveable to a locked or unlocked position, where the tension plate configured to restrict forward movement of the inner rod when the selector placed in the locked position, and the tension plate configured to allow unrestricted movement of the inner rod when the selector is placed the unlocked position.

An animal trap device comprises a base, a circular cover plate, an elastic element and an elastic lasso. The circular cover plate comprises a top portion, a surrounding portion; wherein the surrounding portion surrounds a circumference of the top portion. The top portion has a support disc and at least one flange protruding from a side surface of the support disc. The elastic element is configured between the base and the circular cover plate, and adapted to provide the top portion with an upward elastic force. The elastic lasso is wound around the surrounding portion, and positioned below the at least one flange. The elastic lasso will be blocked by the at least one flange and the surrounding portion, retained in open position until leaving the surrounding portion when the top portion is exerted with a force to move downward.
