Provided are a liner, a teat cup, and a milking device that can further reliably and effectively curb backflow of milk to reduce the risk of infection of mastitis. The present invention provides a liner 3 for a teat cup 1 of a milking device 10, the liner 3 having a cylindrical shape and including: a bore part 3b disposed in a cylindrical shell 2 such that a space is formed between an inner surface of the shell 2 and the bore part 3b, the bore part 3b being elastically deformable between an open state and a closed state; a mouthpiece part 3a disposed at one end of the bore part 3b and closing one end of the shell 2, the mouthpiece part 3a being configured to allow a teat 50 to be inserted therethrough and being provided with a vent 3aa; a short milk tube part 3d disposed at the other end of the bore part 3b and closing the other end of the shell 2, the short milk tube part 3d allowing milk sucked from the teat 50 by the bore part 3b to flow therethrough; and a vent line 3f provided as a groove on an inner surface of the liner 3, the vent line 3f extending on the bore part from the vent 3aa.

An apparatus is designed for holding the tail of an animal to one side while the animal is on a milking platform. The apparatus consists of a structure mounted to the rail along or around the milking platform which holds the tail such that the pathway to the udder between the animal's rear legs is unobstructed by the tail.

The inventionrelates to a tubular element (9) and a method for manufacturing the tubular element (9). The tubular element (9) has an inner space forming a passage for conducting milk, wherein the tubular element (9) comprises a first material portion (9a) which constitutes the main part of the tubular element (9) and an additional material portion (9b) which includes a vent passage (9b) adapted to supply air to the inner space of the tubular element (9). The first material portion (9a) and the additional material portion (9b) are fixedly connected to each other in a contact area (9d) such that the material portions (9a, b) form an integrated unit.

The invention refers to a device for carrying a milking member, which includes four teatcups (3) and is connectable to a milking machine (5) via a flexible conduit member (6). A support element (10) is fixedly mounted at a milking box (13) for an animal to be milked and positioned with the head at the front. An arm arrangement (9) is pivotably connected to the support element and arranged to support partly the milking member during milking of said animal when the teatcups are applied to a respective teat. The arm arrangement (9) is movable from a first position beside said animal to a second position below said animal. The arm arrangement is fixedly connected to the flexible conduit member (6) at a distance from the milking member in such a way that the milking member is partly movable in relation to the arm arrangement. The device includes a force-generating member for generating, during milking, a force acting on the arm arrangement in a forward direction (x). This force is transferred to said teatcup via the conduit member.
