Abstract
A support structure for an arm adjustably supporting a hose at a stall of a cow milking system is disclosed. The structure includes a leg carried by a ball and having a tubular section within which the arm may be adjustably secured. The ball is received in a bracket permitting universal rotation with respect to the stall, the bracket frictionally securing the ball in whatever position it is placed. The arm may be moved manually or may be moved automatically by a retractor cylinder activated upon the completion of milking.
