Embodiment Construction

[0043] Figures 1 to 4 A teat cup to be attached to the teat of an animal to be milked is disclosed. Milking cups including cylinder 1 (see also Figure 5 ) and connector 2 (see also Figure 6 ).

[0044] The connector 2 includes a lower base member 3 and a housing 4 . The housing 4 extends from the lower base member 3 and surrounds the accommodation space 5 of the connector 2 . When assembling the teatcup, the cartridge 1 is housed in the housing space 5 of the connector, as figure 2 and 3 shown.

[0045] In the disclosed embodiment, the lower base member 3 and the housing 4 form one integral part and are made from one piece of plastic material. The connector 2, ie the lower base member 3 and the housing 4 may be molded by any suitable molding method. The plastic material of the lower base member 3 and the housing 4 may be polybutylene terephthalate resin PBT, for example from DuPont TM of It is available in various grades for various industrial applications.

Abstract

A connector (2) is configured for receiving a cartridge (1) for forming a teatcup to be attached to the teat of an animal to be milked. The cartridge comprises an elongated sleeve (8) and a barrel (9), pre- mounted in the elongated sleeve and having an inner space (10) for the teat. The elongated sleeve has axial length from a lower end (8") to an upper end (8') of the sleeve. The connector comprises a lower base member (3) and a shell (4) extending from the lower base member and surrounding a receiving space (5) for receiving the cartridge. The lower base member and the shell form one piece of a plastic material. The shell is configured to extend along the axial length of the elongated sleeve at least to the upper end of the sleeve when the cartridge is received in the connector.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to a connector configured to receive a cartridge for forming a teat cup to be attached to the teat of an animal to be milked. More precisely, the invention relates to a connector according to the preamble of claim 1 . [0002] The invention also relates to a teat cup configured to be attached to the teat of an animal to be milked. Background technique [0003] WO2014 / 178783 discloses a connector for a teat cup to be attached to the teat of an animal to be milked. The connector is configured to receive a cartridge comprising an elongated sleeve and a barrel pre-mounted in the elongated sleeve and having an inner space for receiving a teat. The elongated sleeve has an axial length from the lower end of the sleeve to the upper end of the sleeve. The connector includes a lower base member and a housing extending from the lower base member and surrounding a receiving space for receiving the cartridge. [0004] The...
