In a particular embodiment, the claw body includes individual chambers for receiving milk from each of the teat cups and for discharging milk to the common chamber interposed between the teat cups and the common chamber. This embodiment may further include means known to the prior art for creating a vortex in the fluid within each of the individual chambers, in addition to the flow directing means of the present invention.
