AUTOMATIC MILKING MACHINE ARM DETACHER WITH SLOPING SPLASH SHIELD

摘要

A milk machine detaching mechanism (20) suitable for use in a sloping splash panel or other vertically limited space (22), having a pair of opposing components that can transfer load in the vertical direction, but which slide relative to one another in a smooth and arc-shaped direction to avoid contact with a cow or a cow support platform as the support arm (70) is being withdrawn. The detacher (20) includes a folding arm assembly to minimize potential pinch points.
