摘要:
Milking implement comprising: - a frame (10) with, disposed thereon, a sub-frame which is adjustable in height and which has at least one teat cup holder (26) with a teat cup (28) movable relative thereto, wherein the teat cup holder is tiltable, via a tilting mechanism coupled to the teat cup holder and the frame (10, 20, 22), between a position in which the teat cup (28) placed on the teat cup holder is substantially vertical and has an upward orientated aperture, and a second position, which is at an angle H to the first position, wherein the tilting mechanism allows tilting over an angle H, H amounting at least to 135°. There is thus provided a milking implement which protects the teat cups (28) against contamination and which is capable of storing them in a compact manner. Moreover, it is possible to clean them both from the inside and the outside in a reliable manner, without the risk of cleaning means penetrating into the teat cup and thus into a milk line.
