Abstract
A teat cup assembly for automatic milking machines employing a vacuum milk line and a pulsating vacuum line is disclosed. The assembly comprises a rigid, tubular shell and an elongate, tubular, inflation member received longitudinally within the shell. A sheet of metal is wrapped around the shell, and an elongate sleeve member is adapted to fit telescopically over the sheet of metal which is wrapped about the shell. The lead end of the elongate member makes a tight fit with a raised band on said shell, so that the sheet of metal is sealed between the shell and the sleeve member. A cap member fits over the other end of the shell. Teat entrance means are provided at one of the opposite ends of the inflation for receiving a teat of an animal to be milked, and means are provided adjacent to the other end of the inflation for connecting the vacuum milk line in flow communication with the inflation. A port is provided in the shell for connection to the pulsating vacuum line.
