A multi-fitting rotatable fluid connection apparatus comprising a fluid entry fitting and first and second fluid discharge fittings. The fluid entry fitting comprises a first end connector threaded for attachment to a fluid source, and first and second distribution connectors. The first fluid discharge fitting has a first intake connector which receives fluid from the first distribution connector. A first rotation member is coupled between the first intake connector and the first distribution connector such that the first fluid discharge fitting is rotatable about a first axis of rotation. The second fluid discharge fitting has a second intake connector which receives fluid from the second distribution connector. A second rotation member is coupled between the second intake connector and the second distribution connector such that the second fluid discharge fitting is rotatable about a second axis of rotation.

A device for transmission of rotary motion and transfer of a fluid medium, comprising a planetary gear train for transmission of rotary motion about a main axis which has at least one reduction stage which is provided with a sun gear, which rotates about the main axis, and a toothed ring gear which are mutually concentric and between which at least two planetary gears are engaged which are supported in rotation at least about the respective longitudinal axes which are parallel to the main axis by a planetary gear carrier; such planetary gear train is provided with a driving input sun gear and with an output ring gear and with an output planetary gear carrier, of which one can move in rotation about the main axis with respect to the other; and a rotary joint which extends externally to the planetary gear train for transfer of the fluid medium.

A rotary milking parlor swivel comprising a stationary central core defining a milk line and a media inlet port; a rotating sleeve disposed at least partially around the stationary central core, and the rotating sleeve includes a first segment defining a milk inlet port in communication with the milk line and a second segment defining a media outlet port in communication with the media inlet port.

A swivel knuckle assembly for interconnecting a motor and a supply line. The knuckle assembly may include a bearing member to reduce a coefficient of friction. A locking mechanism is disclosed to connect members of the knuckle assembly.

Provided is a flexible hose assembly having an inner nipple coupled to an inner flexible hose and an outer nipple at least partially surrounding the inner nipple and being coupled to an outer flexible hose, wherein a first fluid flowing through the inner nipple is directed outward in-between the inner and outer flexible hoses and a second fluid flowing in-between the inner and outer nipples is directed inward to the inner flexible hose. By directing the second fluid inward and the first flow outward, the outer flexible hose is prevented from collapsing on the inner flexible hose when pressure of the second fluid flowing through the inner flexible hose is greater than a pressure of the first fluid flowing through the outer flexible hose.

A swivel stack for transfer of fluid across a rotary interface around a rotation axis between incoming and outgoing flow-lines, includes: a group of lower, upper and central annular elements; the lower, upper and central element each being centered around the axis; the central element positioned between the lower and upper elements; an outer annular element centered around the axis between the lower and upper elements; a toroidal chamber between the central and outer elements; downward and upward facing surfaces of the outer element being adjacent to the upward surface of the lower element and the downward surface of the upper element; the lower element's upward surface and the upper element's downward surface having a first stepped surface and the outer element's upward and downward surfaces have a second stepped surface, such that at least two annular cavities centered around the rotation axis are provided.
