What are the sucking tubes called that suck the milk out of cows?

The 'sucking tubes' are actually an assembly of several components. Teatcups attach to the cows teats. Teat Cups are cylindrical shells (typlically stainless steel) with a soft inner liner. Four of these teatcups are clustered together to make up a 'claw'. This claw assembly connects teatcups to the milk tubes, which transfers the extracted milk to the actual milking machine.
