DEFINITION

Classification: 43/82

(under subclass 81) Traps in which the striker is held by a latch engaging directly therewith, without intermediate elements, the latch itself being moved by the victim either directly or indirectly in its effort to get bait, whereupon the striker is released to catch the victim.

(1) Note. Unless the element moved by the animal touches some part of the striker and helps to hold the latter in set position it is not considered to be a direct-engaging latch.
