An improved drawbar connection for railroad cars reduces slack between cars and results in improved train handling. The drawbar connection fits in a standard draft gear pocket and utilizes a standard yoke, standard follower and standard coupler pin, thereby permitting the application of drawbars with minimal structural modification to cars originally equipped with conventional couplers. The usual draft gear is replaced by a filler which is relatively rigid. The filler includes a follower block, a wedge, a filler block and may include a mini-draft gear having a maximum travel of about one-half inch.

Cette invention concerne un connecteur de bras d'attelage ferroviaire amélioré qui réduit le jeu entre wagons et améliore la tenue du train. L'objet de l'invention s'emboîte dans le logement d'un appareil de traction et de choc standard et comporte un étrier, une plaque d'appui et un axe d'attelage standard, et nécessite donc une modification structurale minime des wagons équipés de coupleurs d'attelage classiques. L'appareil de choc et de traction habituel est remplacé par un remplissage relativement rigide qui comprend une plaque d'appui, un coin, un bloc de remplissage et qui peut comprendre un mini-appareil de choc et de traction dont la course maximale est d'environ un demi-pouce.
