A support element ( 10 ) is fixedly mounted in or at a milking box ( 13 ) arranged to receive an animal to be milked. An arm arrangement ( 9 ) is pivotably connected to the support element and arranged to support the milking member at least in connection with the application of the teacup to a teat of the animal. The arm arrangement is movable from a first position, in which the milking member is located beside the animal, to a second position, in which the milking member is located below the animal. The device includes a first part arranged to lock the milking member in relation to the arm arrangement in order to facilitate the application of the teacup to the teat. |
