Abstract

A problem with milking dairy cows is that fitting and removing milking teat cups can be time consuming and cause inefficiencies. It is an object of a preferred embodiment to go at least some way towards address this. The invention incorporates an apparatus for delivering milking teat cups to a dairy cow. It has a housing 1, an extender arm 3, a holster 4, teat cups 5, cords 8, and rollers 14. The arm 3 carries the holster 4 and cups 5 between stowed and extended positions. Each cord 8 is engaged with a respective one of the rollers 14, is connected to a respective one of the cups 5, extends to the holster, and can be drawn in by movement of the respective roller 14. Each roller 14 allows its cord 8 to extend sufficiently to enable the teat cup connected to that cord to be removed from the holster and engaged with a cow's teat for milking. Further, each roller 14 is adapted to draw-in its cord to pull the associated cup 5 to a docking position on the holster.
