<p>A milking claw (10) has a frusto-conical cover (14) fitting on and oriented to a bowl (12). The four inlets (38 ,40, 42, 44) to the cover (14) are downwardly and tangentially arranged on the cover so incoming milk hugs the inside wall of the cover as it swirls around the cover for discharge into the bowl (12). The bowl (12) has a downwardly inclined spiral flow path leading to an outlet (46) arranged on a radius of the bowl. A dam (48) separates the start of the spiral path in the bowl from the outlet and serves to prevent the flow at the outlet from interfering with the flow entering the bowl. </p> |
