Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a plan view showing our new and original design for draft-plates. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the same. Fig. 4 is an end view looking in the direction of the arrow 4, Fig. 1; and Fig. 5 is an end View looking in the direction of the arrow 5, Fig. 1.

The essential features of on r new and original design comprise a plate having a projection at one end extending to the rear and a projection at the other end extending to the front, an opening near the longitudinal Fenter, and a recessed projection on the front :ace.

f l l Thus referring to the drawings, A represents the plate, at one end of which there is a projection B, extending toward the rear, and at the other side there is a projection 0, extending toward the front, which projection has a curved recess 0' near its center. The plate also has on its rear side projecting knobs D D near one end. Centrally of the plate there is an opening E with a projecting flange E at the rear. Extending from the projection C toward the opposite end of the plate are tapering flanges F, and near one end is the hollow curved projection G.
