The articulated arm comprises a first generally straight pipe which is connected to the swivel arm by a generally 90° elbow. A brace member comprises a first end which is connected to the swivel arm and a second end which is connected to the first pipe to thereby support the first pipe for movement in a generally horizontal plane.
