Apparatus for removing a milking set of a milking machine, particularly for a cow-shed

摘要

The apparatus has a vertically suspended cylinder (11) with piston (13). A lifting chord (14) is at one end connected to the milking set (8) and at the other end to the upper side of the piston (13). It extends upwardly from the piston, leaves the upper end (18) of the cylinder (11), is guided along a pulley (16) and thereafter extends downwardly to the milking set (8).;Thereby it is prevented that the milking set touches the ground after removing it from the cow and is contaminated.;Four different embodiments of the apparatus are described.;The apparatus may include a milk flow indicator, having a piece with angled legs (36, 37; 49, 50) and electrical contacts (41, 51, 52) one at each side of the angle bend.;Thereby accurate determination of the moment in time, in which the set must be removed at the end of the milking process, is achieved.
