ABSTRACT:
A milking claw of the type employed for connecting teat cups to a milk line of a milking machine having a claw body including a common chamber for receiving milk from the teat cups and flow directing means for creating a vortex in the fluid within the common chamber sufficient to counter back pressure on the fluid within the chamber and substantially prevent backflow of milk from the chamber to the teat cups. In a particular embodiment, the claw body includes individual chambers for receiving milk from each of the teat cups and for discharging milk to the common chamber interposed between the teat cups and the common chamber. This embodiment may further include means known to the prior art for creating a vortex in the fluid within each of the individual chambers, in addition to the flow directing means of the present invention.
