TEAT CUP Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: agriculture, in particular, machine milking equipment.

SUBSTANCE: teat cup has sleeve with teat pipe fixed by cone inside sleeve and sucker with central opening. End surface of central opening is defined by individual thin elastic plates, which are placed onto one another. In the process of machine milking, teat cup slides onto udder teat as teat is emptied from milk. Thin elastic plates defining end surface of sucker are bent in succession and do not apply substantial pressure to udder teat without squeezing thereof. Such construction allows interruption of communication between teat and udder reservoir to be avoided and process for stripping by hand to be eliminated.

EFFECT: increased efficiency and simplified construction.
