Flg. 2 1s a. plan view of the same; Fi 3 is a lSection on the line .IIIe-III of ig. 2, partly broken away; and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of one of the rectangular frames removed.

'My invention has relation to draft rig# gings and more particularly to draft riggmgs of the type described and claimed in mg' Patent, No. 673,419, of May 7, 1901,-n w ich the draft s rings are arranged` one 'above the other and are removable from bclow, the yoke embracing the springs later-` all insteadof vertically.

y present invention is designed to provide means of simpleand efficient character for connecting the draft rigging tothe draft sills-and for providing a pocket to contain mg. Referring to the accompanying-drawin s,

The olpen bottom of the spring pocket formed' y these frames and by the draft a removable plate 11. This plate can be readily removed to permit the followers and springs to be removed by downward movement. r

The invention forms a very cheap and effective construction which constitutes simple means for connecting the; draft. the draft sills and for forming a the followers and springs.
