Patent number: 8490322Abstract: An animal trap has a base, an upper jaw pivotally coupled with the base so that it is movable between a closed position and an open position, and a set arm that is pivotally coupled with the upper jaw and moveable between a collapsed position and an open position. In its open position, the set arm provides a lever whereby application of a force to the set arm moves the upper jaw toward its open position. A method for trapping an animal includes moving a trap between a first position, where the upper jaw is closed, and the set arm is collapsed, and a second position, where the upper jaw is closed and the set arm is open. The method further includes the step of moving the trap between a second position and a third position in which the upper jaw is open, and the set arm is open.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2010Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: OMS Investments, Inc.Inventors: Scott F. Dobias, Mou Li Lin, Tsung Yi Chung, Di Jun Yan, Thomas Paul Danniger, Kenneth E. Schlack
