The water supply channel is formed inside the flexible sheath for ejecting water from the fore-end of the flexible sheath by supplying the water from the base-end of the flexible sheath. A water ejection opening for the water supply channel is disposed at the base portion of the pair of limbs between the two limbs with the water ejection opening facing forward.
