By the herein described construction I am -is very satisfactory. In the drawin s bodying my invention. -FigQ-Q is a detail view of `the yoke.

Referring to the .drawings A denotes the 'body ofthe-handleV which is molded to shape from porcelain or like material and is provided with a recess B grooved in 'its end Aand side walls as at C to receive the s ring yoke.

D which has projections E on t e outside of each leg' toA engage recesses F in the body i to preventt-he withdrawal of the yoke from the body. The inner -edges ofthe arms of the yoke'project a trifle from'the walls. of the recess to form .oppositely arranged guide ways .Gi and the ends of thearms havelthe inturned projections Il. The spindle holder. I which is recessed .and threaded to be screwed on to the spindle has a- .head J notched to receive the guide-ways G which prevent the holder from. turning and also guide it in its lmovement longitudinally of the handle. A ,spring K surrounds the holder resting on the underside of the head,

and the holder and spring are held in. place.
