The invention claimed is: 1. A holding device for use in a sanitary sector, the holding device comprising a hand grip arrangement provided with an attachment means comprising at least two sucker pairs, each sucker pair having a pair of suction heads for holding the hand grip arrangement firmly in position on an even surface, and coupling means for coupling or allowing the hand grip arrangement to be coupled with each sucker pair at coupling points lying between the suction heads of each sucker pair, wherein the coupling means are in the form of node members separate from the hand grip arrangement, at each end of a node member a suction head of a respective pair of suction heads is provided and between the ends of a node member, the hand grip arrangement is coupled, the node members are in the form of plug connection parts first pins formed at one of a respective node member and an associated sucker pair are received and locked in first sleeves with detent means, formed in the other of the respective node member or the associated sucker pair, and at least one second pin is formed on one of the respective node member and the hand grip arrangement and a second sleeve for receiving and locking the second pin is formed on the other of the respective node member and the hand grip arrangement, each node member is designed so that the associated pair of suckers is coupled by means of pivot means turning around a pivot axis in the longitudinal direction of the part, coupled to the respective node member of the hand grip arrangement, with the hand grip arrangement in a pivoting manner and the node member comprises a first node part on which the first pins on the node member side are located and a second node part arranged in another plane on which the second sleeve on the node member side is located. 2. The holding device as set forth in claim 1, wherein the first pins are provided on the respective node member and the first sleeves are provided on the associated suction pair and the second pin is provided on the hand grip arrangement and the second sleeve is located on the respective node member. 3. The holding device as set forth in claim 1, further comprising detent means for the locking together of the second pin with the second sleeve, the detent means comprising detent pins able to be depressed against the force of springs, which automatically snap back into corresponding detent wells when the associated pin and sleeve pairs are plugged together, the detent pin being on the pins and the detent wells on the sleeves. 4. The holding device as set forth in claim 1, wherein the hand grip arrangement is an arched bail element with a base part coupled at two coupling points at least by node members, with at least two pairs of suckers and a hand grip part aligned athwart the base part, with which it is connected, the base part and the hand grip part defining a bail plane, which extends parallel to a suction plane defined by the sucker pairs when the sucker pairs are aligned parallel to each other. 5. The holding device as set forth in claim 4, wherein the base part is constituted by two mutually longitudinal beams and the hand grip part is constituted by at least one transverse beam extending athwart and between the longitudinal beams. 6. The holding device as set forth in claim 4, wherein the holding device can serve as a bath tub access aid for getting into or out of a bath tub, the pairs of suckers can be detachably secured to an inner or outer side wall of the bath tub and the hand grip part of the bail element can be shifted into a position of use above the bath tub edge. 7. The holding device as set forth in claim 6, wherein support means are provided for supporting the bail element at the inner or outer side wall of the bath tub. 8. The holding device as set forth in claim 7, wherein the support means are arranged or able to be to be arranged on longitudinal beams above and/or underneath the respective coupling points. 9. The holding device as set forth in claim 7, wherein the support means are provided with depth adjustment means for changing the distance between the base part of the bail element and the inner or outer side wall of the bath tub. 10. The holding device as set forth in claim 9, wherein the depth adjustment means are set screws adjustably held in the support means. 11. The holding device as set forth in claim 9, wherein for depth adjustment the support means possess eccentrically mounted adjustment rings which are able to be turned. 12. The holding device as set forth in claim 6, further comprising height adjustment means for setting the height of the bail element.
