(under subclass 93) Jaw-traps having a trigger introduced between two spring-jaws and holding the latter part by its interposition.
(1) Note. The trigger may be a rigid element (wedge-trigger) designed to be knocked out of engagement with the jaws of the victim, whereupon the jaws close upon the latter. It may be a joined element (toggle-trigger) parts of which are in a straight line when the trap is set, and which is moved by the victim at the joint or hinge, whereupon the trigger bends and the trap-jaws approach each other to catch the animal. The traps in this subclass are specially adaptable for burrows.
