Abstract
A humane animal trap includes an enclosure having an opening with a door disposed therein. The door is pivotable about an upper edge between open and closed positions, and is biased toward the closed position by a torsion spring. A transfer arm is disposed along a side of the enclosure and has a catch that is biased into engagement with the door when the door is in the open position and a trip release is engaged with the transfer arm. The transfer arm is operable to rotate the catch away from the entry door in response to disengagement of the trip release. A mechanical sensor is disposed in the enclosure and includes a trip pad coupled to the trip release. The mechanical sensor disengages the trip release from the transfer arm when an animal enters the trap, thereby closing the door behind the animal and capturing it unharmed.
