DEFINITION

Classification: 43/75

(under subclass 73) Traps which kill the victim by a sharp blow, usually on the head or back. The blow usually throws the animal clear of the trap or else within a receptacle.

(1) Note. This subclass is distinguishable from other smiting-traps chiefly by the fact that the traps here are self-reset and from other self-reset traps by the fact that the animal is killed by a blow and is not captured bodily. The smiting element in these traps never holds the victim, as in the case of other smiting traps.
