Abstract
A teatcup liner has an upper mouthpiece and a barrel depending downwardly from the upper mouthpiece, the barrel extending axially along an axis for receiving a teat inserted axially thereinto through the mouthpiece, the barrel being defined by a barrel wall having an inner surface defining a hollow interior in the barrel. An embossed pattern is provided along the inner surface of the barrel wall. A raised pattern provides faster milking, and reduces liner slip. A recessed pattern reduces liner slip.
