The teatcup (10) is displaceable from a first position to a second position, in which the teat entry end (19) is directed differently from that of the first position, wherein the teatcup (10) is freely displaceable in relation to the teatcup supplying member (5) during displacement between the first and second positions. The displacement is at least initiated by a displacement device (8) controlled by a controller. Furthermore, there is provided an automatic milking apparatus having a milking robot provided with a robot arm (3) to be used in conjunction with such a teatcup supplying and retrieving device (4). |
