Abstract:

A release lock for a snare uses a release element mounted so that the cable forming the noose of the snare will open when the tension applied to the cable exceeds the design strength of the release element. The cable may be placed in a slot in the body of the release lock with the release element being retained between the cable and the body. Various parameters of the body, release element, cable, slot and other elements of the release lock may be varied to adjust the resistance to sliding of the release lock along the cable so that live capture of the target species may be achieved.
