    Abstract: A valve apparatus comprises a housing, a solenoid operable to receive electrical current flow, and an enclosure, the enclosure housing the solenoid, a magnet coupled to the enclosure, a plunger comprising a stopper and a conductive portion, and a spring coupled to the plunger. When the solenoid receives a first current, the solenoid applies a first magnetic force onto the plunger causing the stopper to disengage from the housing outlet, the conductive portion of the plunger magnetically connects with the magnet, and the stopper remains disengaged from the housing outlet after the first period of time expires. When the conductive portion is magnetically connected to the magnet and the solenoid receives a second current, the solenoid applies a second magnetic force onto the plunger causing the conductive portion of the plunger to disconnect from the magnet so that the stopper engages with the housing outlet.

    Abstract: A milking unit is proposed, comprising at least one milk hose (5, 30), having a first end section (6, 32) and a second end section (49), and a milk collecting component (7, 37), which is connected to the first end section (6, 32) of the milk hose (5, 30). The milk collecting component (7, 37) has at least one coupling element (1), which cooperates with the first end section (6, 32) of the milk hose (5, 30). A clamping element (9) is provided, which cooperates with the coupling element (1) so that an essentially fluid-tight connection is generated between the milk hose (5, 30) and the milk collecting component (7, 37).
