Title: Snare type animal trap

Abstract: A spring loaded pivoted arm has one end of a snare wire secured to the upper end thereof and extending through a trigger mechanism situated at the upper end of a fixed arm so that when the snare is engaged, the trigger releases thus allowing the pivoted arm to snap away from the fixed arm and tighten the snare loop against the fixed arm thus ensuring a humane kill which is not always obtainable with conventional traps. The trigger release pressure is readily adjusted and in one embodiment, the spring action and setting action is facilitated by one end of the spring sliding along a retaining rod on the pivoted arm.
