Humane animal trap

A humane animal trap device comprising

• a base mounted vertical cylindrical sleeve means constructed of multiple arcuate clockwise and counter clockwise elements of looped resilient material positioned substantially parallel to a single axis and interwoven at an acute angle to form in the relaxed position a hollow double conical cylindrical sleeve, capable of being compressed to form a shorter cylinder of larger diameter than that of the relaxed sleeve,
• said sleeve means having a longitudinal dimension, relaxed, being slightly lesser in distance than the overall distance between the extremity of the animal part to be caught and the parts attachment to the body of the animal.
• a restraining means constructed of two pivoted restraining bars of a dimension sufficient to hold the cylindrical sleeve in its compressed position, and having an opening in each bar to act as a keeper seat,
• a spring power means constructed of resilient coiled spring wire, connected to the restraining bars to urge the bars away from each other and out of the way of the compressed sleeve,
• a trigger means constructed with at least two keeper points constructed to selectively, hold the sleeve in the compressed condition until the trigger is depressed, operating to release the bars which in turn release the sleeve, allowing the sleeve to automatically elongate and constrict around retaining the object actuating the trigger.
