Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an animal-catching trap which is scarcely hazadous for man, can catch an animal alive, can easily be carried and assembled, and has a high trapping rate, and to provide a closing device for catching an animal. SOLUTION: This trap for catching the animal, comprising a driving member 60, connection members 80 whose each one end 81 is brought into contact with the driving member and whose each other end 82 is engaged with a lifted shutter 40 to stop the dropping of the shutter 40, and a detection member 90 which is downward extended from the driving member and has a plate-like bait table 91 at the lower end of the detector at a place near to the bottom portion 22 of the main body 20. Dents are formed at places above the connection member- contacting sites on the side surface of the driving member. The connection members are energized with spring members toward the driving member. When an animal invaded in the main body steps the bait table to drop the detection member, the connection members are moved toward the driving member, and the shutters are then dropped to close the openings of the main body.

When the feed table 91 is lowered by depressing the forefoot 1 or stepping on the forefoot, the sensing member 90 is lowered, whereby the driving member 60 moves downward as shown in FIG. The inner end 81 enters the concave portion 62 of the driving member 60, and the connecting member 80 moves in the direction of the driving member 60 as shown by the dotted line and the arrow a as shown in FIG. The engaged shutter receiver 70
The engagement of the rotating member 71 with the inner end 71b is released, and the rotating member 71 rotates clockwise about the shaft member 72 as shown by an arrow b as shown in FIG. As a result, the shutter 40 supported by the outer end 71a of the rotating member 71 of the shutter receiver 70 moves down to the position of 40a by its own weight, closes the opening 30 of the main body 20, and enters the main body 20. Capture animals.
