Abstract: According to the invention, a liner is provided for use with a substantially undeformable teatcup shell (40), for forming a two-chambered teatcup, by means of which milk is extracted from a teat (Z) in a suction milking process through a milking vacuum provided during a milking phase, and the teat is massaged during a rest phase, wherein the liner comprises a head part (12) that is substantially rotationally symmetrical relative to its longitudinal axis and a barrel part (14) that is connected to the head part (12) by means of a transitional part (22), the barrel part (14) is flexible, surrounds the teat and reacts to alternating changes in pressure during the milking and rest phases by changing its form, the head part (12) is formed as an annular tube (16), which forms an insertion opening (18) for the teat (Z), and which ensures sealing relative to the milking vacuum and the best possible grip of the liner to the teat without excessively constricting the teat during both the milking and the rest phases, the annular tube (16) is configured in such a way that an annular hollow space (30) is defined by the teat, the transitional part (22) and the annular tube (16) once the teat is introduced into the barrel part (14), the inner width of the annular tube (16) is smaller during the milking phase than the inner width of the area of the barrel part (14) provided for the teat (Z), and the annular tube (16) is sufficiently flexible that its inner width is enlargeable radially outward and its axial length is changeable during introduction of the teat.

Abstract: A jetter cup for washing milking equipment includes a cup having a sidewall and a bottom wall defining therein a cavity, a tube having a passageway, and an annular lip having a central opening. The jetter cup facilitates insertion of a mouthpiece of a teat cup liner into the cavity by the provision of ramping bosses circumferentially spaced around the outer surface of the lip, a circumferentially extending groove along the inside of the sidewall at the junction between the lip and the sidewall, and the provision of a plurality of upright ribs along the sidewall which preferably extend downwardly to the bottom wall. When the mouthpiece of the liner is inserted into the cavity, the lip snaps back into sealing relationship around the shell of the teat cup to provide a gap between the sidewall and the skirt of the mouthpiece to permit cleaning and rinsing solution to circulate around the mouthpiece including the lower margin thereof. The bosses lessen frictional engagement between the mouthpiece and the lip during insertion and the groove facilitates the lip in yielding and then returning to a sealing position without the need for twisting or pulling on the teat cup.

Abstract: A liner for use with a teat cup having a rigid hollow shell having a central aperture is shown. The liner comprises a teat chamber having an opening which extends axially therethrough and terminates in a distal end and which has an axial length greater in length than a length of a teat terminating in a distal tip which is to be inserted into the teat chamber. The liner includes a transition chamber having an axially extending reducing inner passageway which has an inlet contiguous to and communicating with the opening in the distal end. The transition chamber defines thereon a circumferentially extending cuff member configured to be passed through a central aperture in a shell and to them surround and urge the cuff member against a shell. A milk tube communicates with the outlet of the transition chamber.

Abstract: A variable shut off teat cup liner has a mouthpiece, a barrel and a short milk tube adapted for mounting onto milking claw. The short milk tube includes a segment for engagement with an edge of a claw nipple defining an opening, the segment being intended for bending over the opening to substantially close it to passage of vacuum-drawn air therethrough when the teat cup liner is in a non-milking generally downwardly bending position. The segment has circumferentially extending grooves and longitudinally extending grooves which form lugs which provide improved cut resistance. The circumferentially extending grooves have different axial spacing whereby the amount of overlap of the short milk tube over the nipple may be varied to provide the proper amount of bending.
