Title: Innovations of Thomas A. Lance in Milking Technology
Introduction
Thomas A. Lance is an accomplished inventor based in Tallmadge, OH (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of agricultural technology, particularly in the design of milking apparatuses. His innovative approach has led to the development of a unique flow restrictor that enhances the efficiency of milking processes.
Latest Patents
Thomas A. Lance holds a patent for a "Flow restrictor for milking apparatus." This invention involves a milking apparatus that utilizes a vacuum source and a milking liner, which works in conjunction with a shell to create a pulsation chamber. The apparatus features a pulsator that is in fluid communication with both the pulsation chamber and the vacuum source. The pulsator is designed to produce a four-phase milking cycle, which includes at least an A phase and a C phase. During the A phase, the liner transitions from a closed to an open configuration, allowing fluid communication between the pulsation chamber and the vacuum source. Conversely, the C phase involves the liner changing from an open to a closed configuration, permitting atmospheric air to flow into the pulsation chamber. A restrictor is strategically placed in the fluid communication path to slow the C phase compared to the A phase, optimizing the milking process.
