  • Patent number: 4044493
    Abstract: A meshed crab trap device is provided which has an open state when a crab can enter the device and a closed state for entrapping the crab. The device includes a base member, side members and top member, which are each formed from a plurality of perpendicular wires. The side members are pivotally coupled to one side of the base member and the top member has a size and shape which is identical to the bottom member. A plurality of U-shaped support means couple the top member to the base member such that the top member is parallel to the base member. The distance between the top and bottom members is slightly less than the width of the side members such that when the crab trap is in a closed state, the side members are perpendicular to the top and bottom members and a closed cage is formed for entrapping a crab therein. The side members have a rectangular shape in which the ratio of width to length is about 3:5. This provides a profile which appears to entice crabs to enter the trap.
