Abstract: A teat cup assembly for use with a milking machine for milking cows. The teat cup assembly comprises a hollow tubular shell together with an inflation including a hollow tubular barrel disposed within the shell. The inflation is deformable between a relaxed profile and a collapsed massage profile around the teat of a cow. The teat cup assembly includes reinforcing structure for predetermining a desired collapsed massage profile for the barrel of the inflation. The reinforcing structure includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced ribs projecting from the barrel of the inflation, and a corresponding plurality of rib receiving grooves formed in the inner surface of the shell. As a result, the inflation will always collapse in a known and predetermined massage profile, which is preferably triangular in shape, to override any inherent inconsistencies in manufacturing processes or materials of construction.

Abstract translation: 用于与挤奶机挤奶的奶杯组合件。 挤奶杯组件包括中空管状壳体以及包括设置在壳体内的中空管状筒体的膨胀物。 膨胀在一个放松的轮廓和牛的乳头周围的折叠按摩轮廓之间变形。 乳头杯组件包括用于预先确定用于充气筒的期望的折叠式按摩轮廓的加强结构。 加强结构包括从膨胀筒突出的多个周向间隔的肋，以及形成在壳的内表面中的相应的多个肋接收槽。 结果，膨胀将总是以已知和预定的按摩轮廓崩溃，这种按摩轮廓最好是三角形形状，以覆盖制造过程或结构材料中的固有不一致。

Abstract: A device is proposed for a milking stall (1) with at least one milking position (2) for an animal (3) and with at least one milking equipment which comprises a milking member (4,5) arranged to being attached to an animal for milking thereof. The device comprises a cabinet (9) which defines an inner space. The cabinet is arranged to comprise a driving arrangement for a remover (14), arranged to remove the milking member (4,5) from the animal (3) after the milking is finished, and an operating panel (11) which the milking equipment is controlled. The driving arrangement is positioned in the cabinet (9) at least at one of two predetermined driving positions which are adapted to a first operating position and a second operating position, respectively, of the cabinet in said stall (1).

Abstract: A modular teat cup assembly for use with a milking machine for milking cows. The modular teat cup assembly comprises a hollow tubular shell together with a cartridge assembly slidably received within the shell. The cartridge assembly includes a spool-shaped liner and a framework comprising a pair of opposing sleeve members for supporting the liner. The sleeve members are movable between an open position to permit removal and replacement of the liner, and a closed position for supporting the liner therebetween. A cap removably mounted on the bottom of the shell holds the cartridge assembly within the shell and is used to attach a milking tube in the conventional manner. A head piece includes a mouth for receiving a cow's teat, and is snapped onto the upper end of the shell to complete the modular assembly.

Abstract: A teat rubber cup comprising a head member substantially rotationally symmetric with a longitudinal axis, with an aperture for insertion of the teat, a retaining edge to engage over a teat cup sleeve, and a suction stub joined to the head member, the end of the head member opposite the teat insertion aperture merging into the retaining edge. The wall of the head member is stiffened in a region located between the teat insertion aperture and the transition to the retaining edge, and the upper end of the suction stub merges into this stiffened part of the head member. The part of the teat rubber cup head located between the stiffened part and the retaining edge is made at least partly elastic. During the suction phase a compressive force acts on the section of the head member located between the stiffened part of the head member and the retaining edge, the force endeavouring to move that section towards the outside of the suction stub. An upward movement of the teat cup sleeve then takes place, while in the relief phase a slight downward movement of the sleeve takes place relative to the teat.

Abstract translation: 一种乳头橡胶杯，其包括与纵向轴线基本上旋转对称的头部构件，具有用于插入奶头的孔，保持边缘接合在奶杯杯套上，以及连接到头部构件的吸入短管， 与乳头插入孔相对的头部构件合并到保持边缘中。 头部构件的壁在位于奶嘴插入孔和到保持边缘的过渡之间的区域中被加强，并且吸入桩的上端合并到头部构件的该加强部分中。 位于加强部分和保持边缘之间的乳头橡胶杯头的部分至少部分地具有弹性。 在抽吸阶段期间，压头力作用在位于头部件的加强部分与保持边缘之间的头部构件的部分上，该力力力使该部分朝向抽吸桩的外部移动。 然后发生奶杯杯套筒的向上运动，而在卸压阶段，套筒相对于奶头发生轻微的向下运动。
