A live animal trap with improvements to ease of use, reliability and cost is disclosed. A simple repeatable one-hand set action lifts a front entry door. A hold-close assembly trips to secure the front door without sliding motions. A low friction latch and trip links thereto provide consistent set action resistant to shaking and undesired trip. A rear door is fitted next to a bait location to allow near vertical access for bait placement and unattended, unobstructed release. A changeable torque arm provides adjustable trip force. A trip tray is spaced above a floor to require a small set-up motion to access the bait and further ensure trip.本發明揭露一種具有容易使用、可靠性及成本之改良的活動物陷阱。一簡單可重覆單手設置動作升起一前入口門。一保持關閉總成脫扣而鎖定該前門且沒有滑動動作。一低摩擦閂鎖及其脫扣連桿提供防止搖晃及不需要脫扣之一致設置動作。一後門裝配成鄰近一餌位置以容許接近垂直地進入以便放餌及無人看管下無阻礙地釋放。一可改變轉矩臂提供可調整脫扣力。一脫扣盤分開位在一底板上方以要求一小設置動作來通達該餌及進一步確保脫扣。
