[0021] The handle 6 is preferably plum blossom shaped. Accordingly, the handle 6 is coaxially sleeved on the rotating shaft 5 and is tightened by a set screw, and the specific details are not repeated.

[0022] The inner end of the plug-in shaft 5 may be chamfered to facilitate the plug-in shaft 5 to be embedded in the column 1 .

[0023] As an embodiment of the utility model, a slider 51 is coaxially provided on the plug-in shaft 5, and the slider 51 is coaxially slidably placed in the pressure block 4; an end cover 41 is provided at the outer end of the pressure block 4; a compression spring 52 is provided between the end cover 41 and the slider 51, and the compression spring 52 is sleeved on the plug-in shaft 5; the pressure block 4 and the end cover 41 are both clearance-fitted with the plug-in shaft 5 to ensure the axial telescopic movement of the plug-in shaft 5, so as to facilitate the inner end of the plug-in shaft 5 to be inserted into the column 1.
