专利汇可以提供Animal milking and/or treatment apparatus专利检索，专利查询，专利分析的服务。并且Apparatus particularly intended for use in milking animals and including a horizontal circular platform which is mounted for rotation about a central vertical axis and is arranged to be driven either intermittently or at a slow rate by any suitable prime mover means. The platform has its peripheral part divided into a plurality of animal receiving stalls disposed generally radially, or at a slight angle to the radial line, opening to the periphery of the platform and directed inwardly thereof so that the animals hind quarters are at said periphery to be accessible to an operator outside the platform. In the preferred construction and application of the invention as milking apparatus, each stall is provided with a milking claw and cup assembly connecting with milk collection pipe lines and air or vacuum pipe lines fixed relative to the platform and rotatable with such platform. The milk collection and air or vacuum pipe lines can pass to milking apparatus located centrally of the platform and rotatable therewith, or the arrangement can provide for the rotatable milk collection and air or vacuum supply lines to connect either directly or by way of a milk receiving can with a central revolving gland unit which is in turn connected by fixed pipe lines to the remainder of the milking machinery and apparatus. The speed of rotation of the platform is preferably such that the milking of each animal will be completed by the time one revolution of the platform is completed so that an animal may pass forwardly through an entrance into a stall on the platform and when the revolution is completed and milking finished the animal may back out of the stall off the platform and through an exit adjacent the entrance.，下面是Animal milking and/or treatment apparatus专利的具体信息内容。
