Definition

This class includes inventions which deal with the trapping of wild animals, the catching of fish, especially food fish, and the destruction of all animal life obnoxious or pestiferous to man. It does not include catching and restraining devices for use with domestic animals or fowls nor the destruction of insects on such live stock. It does not include bee-moth catchers.

The class is divided into three groups, as its title indicates. The trapping group of inventions is further subdivided into:

(1) Traps for general use or for animals other than fish and insects.

(2) Traps peculiarly adapted for fish and not readily usable on land without modification.

(3) Traps designed especially for insects and not useful in capturing other forms of life.

(4) Traps designed to catch human beings, as thieves or burglars.

The vermin-destroying group of inventions is subdivided into:

(1) Inventions useful for the destruction of vermin of all kinds;

(2) Inventions adapted to kill obnoxious insects only and not useful for killing other forms of vermin.
