Abrégé

A milking liner includes an integrated short air tube and short milk tube. In one configuration, the pulsation air is delivered through the bead of the milking liner directly inside the shell through a plurality of outlets. The disclosure also provides alignment features that assist the person assembling a milking liner and shell. The features limit rotation between the liner and the shell. The liner includes a short air tube that extends beyond a short milk tube with each having a sealing bead. The sealing beads are offset from each other.

Abrégé

A claw top for milking equipment is disclosed. The claw top comprises a claw top body; four liner nipples extending from the claw top body; each liner nipple extending in a liner nipple extension direction; four pulsation nipples extending from the claw top body; one pulsation nipple being associated with each liner nipple to define a nipple pair; each pulsation nipple extending in a pulsation nipple extension direction; the liner nipple extension direction being substantially the same as the pulsation nipple extension direction; the claw top body including a removable air fork; the pulsation nipples being carried by the removable air fork. The removable air fork includes a main body and a pair of arms; the pulsation nipples extending from the arms; the arms extending outwardly and downwardly from the main body to position the pulsation nipples next to the liner nipples.

Abrégé

A short milk tube end portion has a configuration to secure the short milk tube to a claw nipple. A milking liner and a milk hose have a plurality of different sections identified by their function wherein at least two of the different sections are integrally formed from materials having different material properties. The material can change its properties in response to temperature to provide an indicator during a cleaning cycle. The material can be clear to provide a visual window. The material can be more flexible in the areas of the liner that require more flexibility.

Abrégé

A milking liner includes an integrated short air tube and short milk tube. In one configuration, the pulsation air is delivered through the bead of the milking liner directly inside the shell when the liner is connected to the shell. In another configuration, the integrated short air tube has an outlet outside the shell. The disclosure also provides aligned nipple pairs on the claw top. One configuration is provided wherein the pulsation nipples and air fork are integrated with the claw that has the liner nipples. Another configuration is provided wherein the air fork is separate from the claw. A method of readily supplying pulsation air to a shell includes the step of integrated the step of connecting the short air tube and the shell with the step of connecting the shell to the milking liner.

A vent plug for a milking liner has an outlet that discharges the vent air in the downstream direction. The vent plug has an outlet disposed in the downstream portion of the inner flange of the vent plug so that vent air is directed toward the outlet of the short milk tube. The vent plug outlet also may be disposed in the upstream portion of the inner flange while being configured to direct the vent air in a downstream direction.

Abrégé

A milking apparatus that is used to extract milk from dairy animals includes a vacuum source, a milking liner cooperating with a shell to define a pulsation chamber; and a pulsator in fluid communication with the pulsation chamber and the vacuum source. The pulsator is configured to produce at least a four-phase milking cycle in the milking liner with the cycle including at least an A phase and a C phase. The A phase is wherein the liner is changed from a closed configuration to an open configuration during which the pulsator provides fluid communication between the pulsation chamber and the vacuum source. The C phase is wherein the liner is changed from an open configuration to a closed configuration during which the pulsator allows atmospheric air to flow into the pulsation chamber. A restrictor is disposed in the path of the fluid communication between the pulsator and the pulsation chamber with the restrictor slowing the C phase compared to the A phase.

Fitted elastomeric milking liners for dairy milking machines

Abrégé

A milking liner for an automated milking machine includes a barrel that moves between an uncollapsed position and a collapsed condition when it is subjected to a vacuum milking condition. The barrel defines at least three parallel channels open to the inner surface of the barrel. The configuration of the sidewall of the barrel and the channels cause the barrel to uniformly collapse when the barrel is subjected to a vacuum milking condition. In one configuration, ribs protrude from the barrel sidewall and define channels with the same wall thickness as the sidewall segments disposed between the ribs.

A milking liner (2) for an automated milking machine includes a barrel (8) that moves between an uncollapsed position and a collapsed condition when it is subjected to a vacuum milking condition. The barrel defines at least three parallel channels open to the inner surface of the barrel. The configuration of the sidewall of the barrel and the channels cause the barrel to uniformly collapse when the barrel is subjected to a vacuum milking condition. In one configuration, ribs (32) protrude from the barrel sidewall and define channels with the same wall thickness as the sidewall segments (40) disposed between the ribs.
