582,265. Rat-traps. ROBERTSON, A. N. M. July 27, 1944, No. 14341. [Class 5 (i)] A rat or like break-back trap is retained set by the bait 7 which is lodged between the trigger-lever and the base 1. The trigger-lever is resiliently held by means distinct from that holding the striker and may be anchored to the base by an elastic band, or by an extension to the stapling for the spring 3. The part pressing on the bait may be doubled, one end extending downwardly in the form of prongs penetrating the base and the other upwardly in U-formation to engage the catch-bar 4.
