Abstract: The milkmeter has a truncated cone shaped float and measuring container with the ratio of the smallest diameters of the truncated cones being equal to the ratio of their largest diameters. The float is suspended by its top. The meter measures accurately constant milk weights irrespective of the quantity of air in the milk. The float is more stable than a cylindrical one and the meter is more accurate because of a very small volume below the float in the rest position.
Abstract: This removal apparatus comprises a bellows-shaped hose as the lifting element, which contracts under the influence of the vacuum in the milking conduit and then constitutes a rigid element, which may easily be manipulated and displaced. Moreover the apparatus is less expensive than the known removal apparatus.
Abstract: This valve may be used for operating a removing apparatus for a milking set. It has such low energy comnsumption, that simple batteries may be used so that a cow-shed need not be provided with electric current conduits.
Abstract: A milking cluster is provided with a vertically suspended cylinder in which a movable piston is located. A lifting cord is attached at one end to the milking cluster and at the other end to the upper face of the piston. It extends upwardly from the piston, leaving the upper end of the cylinder and is guided over a pulley thereafter extending downwardly to the milking cluster. The apparatus includes a milk flow indicator.
