Patent GB-2578734-A (GB)
Title: Rodent traps
Inventor: GARY WINGETT
IPC: A01M23/30
Filed: 2018-11-05
Abstract: A rodent trap comprising a capture arm 102, a latch 108 and a trigger 110. The capture arm is biased from an armed position to a triggered position. The latch is arranged to hold the capture arm in the armed position. When the trigger 110 is pressed by a rodent the latch 108 is released and the capture arm 102 moves from the armed position to the triggered position, thereby capturing the rodent by exerting a force on the rodent. The rodent trap further comprises a captured switch (312, fig 4). The capture arm 102 and trigger 110 are arranged so that if a rodent is captured by the capture arm, the force exerted on the rodent by the capture arm is transmitted to the trigger, thereby switching the captured switch to indicate that a rodent has been captured. In another aspect of the invention the trap lacks the capture switch (312, fig 4) and instead has a shoe 200 permanently fitted to the traps base (116, fig 2) and a removeable electronics module 300. The electronic module can detect if a rodent has been captured and transmits a captured signal.
