A 19th Century US Patent Model from the Rothschild Patent Museum. This is a 3D scan of a working miniature replica.
The term 'Trapshooting' originated from startling pigeons in cages with devices such as these. Lowering the cat model onto latches kept the spring tensed; pulling the string unlatched the cat, surprising pigeons into flight.
