n .
Any device that catches ,
and usually kills ,
mice .
They are of various designs ,
the most common being a stiff loop of wire mounted on a small wooden platform base and attached to a strong spring ,
which holds the loop firmly against the base .
To activate the trap ,
the loop is pulled through a 180 [
deg ]
arc against the tension of the spring and held against the base by a delicate metal catch ,
which can keep the loop from moving ,
though in a state of high tension .
The metal catch is moved when a mouse tries to take a piece of bait attached to it ,
releasing the loop which forcefully moves though an arc ,
usually killing the mouse .
A larger version of the same device is used as a {
rat trap }.
