Abstract: Means for supporting a teat cup assembly of milking apparatus in a position adjacent a milking stall whereby the teat cup assembly is supported above the floor of the stall and readily accessible to a milker. The support means includes a hinged arm so that the teat cup assembly may be supported at or near the outer end of such arm, and the teat cup assembly is supported in a retractible manner whereby it may immediately retract to a ''''home'''' position supported by the arm upon removal of the teat cups from a milked animal and so that the teat cup assembly cannot fall and contact the floor of the stall on removal from the animal. A vacuum supply cut-off device is associated with the retractible support means and the vacuum supply hose for the teat cup assembly to provide an arrangement whereby the vacuum supply to a teat cup assembly fitted to an animal can be cut off to permit the teat cup assembly to fall away from the animal with the result that the retractible support means immediately comes into operation to retract the teat cup assembly to the ''''home'''' and supported position without manual effort.

Abstract: Apparatus particularly intended for use in milking animals and including a horizontal circular platform which is mounted for rotation about a central vertical axis and is arranged to be driven either intermittently or at a slow rate by any suitable prime mover means. The platform has its peripheral part divided into a plurality of animal receiving stalls disposed generally radially, or at a slight angle to the radial line, opening to the periphery of the platform and directed inwardly thereof so that the animals hind quarters are at said periphery to be accessible to an operator outside the platform. In the preferred construction and application of the invention as milking apparatus, each stall is provided with a milking claw and cup assembly connecting with milk collection pipe lines and air or vacuum pipe lines fixed relative to the platform and rotatable with such platform. The milk collection and air or vacuum pipe lines can pass to milking apparatus located centrally of the platform and rotatable therewith, or the arrangement can provide for the rotatable milk collection and air or vacuum supply lines to connect either directly or by way of a milk receiving can with a central revolving gland unit which is in turn connected by fixed pipe lines to the remainder of the milking machinery and apparatus. The speed of rotation of the platform is preferably such that the milking of each animal will be completed by the time one revolution of the platform is completed so that an animal may pass forwardly through an entrance into a stall on the platform and when the revolution is completed and milking finished the animal may back out of the stall off the platform and through an exit adjacent the entrance.
