That is, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, each fixing portion 11 of the connecting tool 10 is fitted into both end portions 13c of the downhill type handle 13 through the through hole 11a, and the screw member 14 is inserted into the screw hole 12b. Screw in. Since the connecting portion 12 bisected by the screwing of the screw member 14 approaches in the direction of reducing the distance between the communication grooves 12a, the fixing portion 11 is deformed so as to reduce the diameter of the through hole 11a.
Therefore, the connecting parts 10 are fixedly attached by tightening the both end parts 13c with the fixing parts 11 and 11, and the both end parts 13c are fixed by the connecting parts 10.
c can be concatenated.
