PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a small animal trapping device in which an upper side of a regulation door is formed so as to come into abutment with an upper surface member of a cage-like body, and therefore an inclination closed state of a confinement door is held reliably and a small animal can be caught in the cage-like body, further, the confinement door is closed and turned in an inclined shape from substantially a horizontal position and a closing and turning angle of the confinement door can be reduced, and thereby the confinement door can be closed and turned quickly to raise capture efficiency of the small animal.SOLUTION: A small animal trapping device is configured as follows: a mooring rod 9 is moored at a trigger rod 5 in the horizontal position H, and is held in a stand-by state to open an entry opening 2 the trigger rod disengages and releases the mooring rod when a feeding rod 4 is made to swing a confinement door 3 is closed and disposed in an inclined shape and an upper side 6a of a regulation door 6 is brought into abutment with an upper surface member 1c of a cage-like body 1 and is held in a closed state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】規制扉体の上辺部はかご状本体の上面部材に当接可能に形成されているから閉込扉体の傾斜状の閉口状態が確実に保持され、小動物をかご状本体内に捕獲することができ、さらに、上記閉込扉体は略水平位置から傾斜状に閉塞回動することになり、上記閉込扉体の閉塞回動角度を小さくすることができ、それだけ、閉込扉体をすばやく閉塞回動させることができ、小動物の捕獲効率を高めることができる。【解決手段】水平位置Hで係留杆9をトリガー杆5に係留して進入口部2が開口する待機状態に保持され、餌付杆4が揺れ動いたときトリガー杆は係留杆を離脱釈放し、閉込扉体3は閉口動作して傾斜状に配置されると共に規制扉体6の上辺部6aはかご状本体1の上面部材1cに当接して閉口状態に保持されるように構成してなる。【選択図】図7
