Abstract:
1. A percussive trap comprising: (a) a case; (b) said case containing, a hammer mechanism which is movable between a cocked position and a release position where the hammer mechanism strikes a percussive device located in said trap; (c) an activation mechanism which releases said hammer mechanism from said cocked position; (d) a first safety which when engaged moves said hammer mechanism to the cocked position and simultaneously prevents said hammer mechanism from being released by said activation mechanism; (e) a trigger rod, projecting from within said case, which activates said activation mechanism when said trigger rod is moved along a path parallel to a longitudinal axis of the case from a set position, in which the trigger rod projects a first distance from the case, to a release position, in which the trigger rod projects a second distance from the case, the second distance being different from the first distance; and (f) a second safety, located nearer a first end of the case opposite the trigger rod than a second end of the case adjacent the trigger rod, a portion of the second safety is movable to block the path of the trigger rod from the set position to the release position.
