(under subclass 64) Traps including one or more trap-doors or platforms normally held in a substantially horizontal position by gravity, springs, weights, etc., but capable of tilting under the weight of the animal to precipitate the latter into a container below.
(1) Note. These traps are distinguishable from the nonreturn-entrance traps having victim-opened gates by the fact that here the animals are precipitated into a container below.
