DEFINITION

Classification: 43/85

(under subclass 58) Traps which catch the victim by the throat and choke it or which catch it by some other portion of the body and hold it with a squeezing action, so that it usually dies; these traps, while structurally similar to many smiting-traps having a swinging striker, differ therefrom in that they do not kill by a neck-breaking or similar blow, but choke or squeeze to death.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

81+, and 88+, for traps which might choke or squeeze a victim to death, but which are not properly classifiable as mere choking or squeezing traps.
