Abstract
A teat cup inflation for the prevention of mastitis comprising a generally cylindrical shell having a liner therein, an upper or proximate portion of which is stainless steel, the lower distal portion being transparent for observation of the action of the liner. The liner comprises an elastometric one-piece, molded elongated member having at the proximate end an integral flange disposable about the end of the stainless steel portion of the shell; and having a diaphragm with a teat opening therein with a corrugated or accordion type edge for ease of admission of the teat and for better holding, said liner then depending in a generally non-circular e.g., square configuration, which ensures proper massaging action and at the same time, even as the liner collapses, an anti-peristaltic orifice connecting the milking vacuum to the inflation cavity, in combination with a vent below the non-circular configuration that prevents the flooding of milk and backflow of milk and the peristalsis-like conversion of milk backward against the teat orifice.
