Filed:

Oct 27, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/260344

Inventors:

Jeannie Holmes - Weatherford TX, US
Steve Meeks - Mineral Wells TX, US

Assignee:

M Management-Tex, LLC - Fort Worth TX

International Classification:

A01J 5/06

US Classification:

119 1452, 119 1447, 119 1449

Abstract:

A dairy inflation includes a barrel portion connected to a milk tube portion for extracting milk from a teat of an animal. The barrel portion includes an axial passage defined by a wall, the wall having an exterior surface defining an outer periphery having a substantially circular shape. The wall further includes an interior surface defining an inner periphery having a substantially elliptical shape. The elliptical inner periphery includes a major axis and a minor axis, and the disposition of the elliptical inner periphery within the circular outer periphery creates reduced-thickness regions on opposing sides of the wall along the major axis. The reduced-thickness regions allow a controlled collapse of the barrel portion during milking operations.
