No. 23884.—3rd January, 1908.—BENJAMIN WALTER BENN, of Woorayl Vale, Meeniyan, South Gippsland, Victoria, Australia, Farmer. Improvements in milking-apparatus.*

Extract from Specification.—This invention has reference to improvements in milking-apparatus wherein a vacuum is formed intermittently in a short cylinder arranged at the lower part of teat-cup, said cylinder having a piston within it which when actuated by the intermittent vacuum works a mechanical teat-squeezing appliance located in the teat-cup, or an alternative form of teat-cup may be employed wherein the intermittent vacuum acts in the annular chamber lying between the rubber teat-sleeve and its casing, while a constant vacuum is maintained in the milk-cistern with which the interior of both aforesaid types of teat-cup are connected. The improvements lie mainly in a novel construction of mechanical teat-squeezing appliance which is constructed entirely of metal and without an inner sleeve of rubber as is usual; also it consists alternatively in a teat-cup having an inner rubber sleeve which is protected by an inner metal guard which allows the teat to be squeezed in two positions which lie opposite one another as in the mechanical squeezer; also in a novel form of pulsating-cock which produces the intermittent vacuum, said cock being driven by a crank motion from any convenient power, or if the power lies too far away or not in a convenient position to drive it the cock may be worked directly by a motor which I have designed for the purpose; and, further, a novel type of automatic releaser
