Abstract

A short milk tube for providing a conduit between a teat cup assembly and a milker claw that defines a number of ribs that import structural rigidity along a longitudinal axis and in predetermined directions relative to the longitudinal axis to maintain adequate cross-sectional flow area when in the milking position, and a vacuum seal when in the non-milking position.
