MILKING APPARATUS Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: agricultural engineering. SUBSTANCE: apparatus comprises teat cups with finger-like teat deformers disposed between their inner and outer walls. Said deformers are compressed by electromagnets. Current is supplied successively through a cable to the deformers from top down. When a valve in the lower part of the teat cup opens, milk is squeezed from the teats. In case of a short-time interval in power supply, the deformers are simultaneously released by the device and, thanks to flexibility of the teat inner wall, milk is sucked out of the udder. The apparatus has a hose with a catch and a belt for fastening it on the animal. EFFECT: improved design. 2 cl, 4 dwg
