There are tubings which can be releasably inserted onto connection pieces connected to the shank and which can be fixed on the connection pieces. The handle is formed as a two-part housing, wherein for opening and closing the housing a first housing part is adjustable relative to a second housing part so that with an opened housing the tubings can be pushed or pulled from then freely situated connection pieces and with a closed housing the tubing ends located on the connection pieces are fixed onto the connection pieces with a friction fit by way of the first housing part.
