  • Publication number: 20070151140
    Abstract: Safety For Mouse Trap is an add-on device for spring-loaded mousetraps or other animal traps. It makes a traditional spring-loaded mousetrap or other animal trap safer. A safety arm located on the device prevents the bow of a traditional mousetrap from accidentally discharging and injuring the user. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, a screw attachment with a collar, safety arm and operating lever is simply screwed into the base of the traditional spring-loaded trap up to the collar of the screw attachment, permitting the safety arm to hang over the bow of the mousetrap. In the event of an accidental discharge, the safety arm will catch the bow and prevent injury to the user. After the mousetrap is set, the user can simply rotate the safety arm with the lever to move the safety arm out of position so it no longer interferes with the recoil of the bow.
