ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for automatically milking animals comprising a milking machine provided with teat cups. Each teat cup has three lines connected thereto which include a line causing the teat cup to pulsate, a line for carrying milk from the teat cup, and an air suction line extending into an enlarged lower space above the connection of the milk line. In the air suction line, a sensor can be incorporated for the purpose of ascertaining the pressure in the space wherein the animal's teat is received. The three lines received by the teat cup may be defined by side-by-side passages through a common flexible integral line. The enlarged lower part which contains the space receiving the air suction line has a greater diameter than the upper part in which the teat of the animal is received, and the upper and lower parts are removably interconnected to each other.
