Abstract:
A pair of binoculars or telescope having a removable strap comprising:a coupling (5) fixed on a casing (2) of the binoculars (1) or telescope, and a coupling pin (6), which cooperates with the coupling (5), disposed at an end of the strap (7), wherein the coupling pin (6) incorporates an inherently elastic locking tab (9) that projects outward from a plane of the coupling pin surface, the coupling (5) having longitudinal recess (14) to receive the locking tab (9) when elastically deformed, wherein, when the locking tab (9) is inserted into the longitudinal recess (14), the locking tab (9) locks behind a coupling projection (15), wherein the longitudinal recess (14) is open toward the outside and a swivel-mounted release key (20) is separately engaged in the longitudinal recess in such a way that by pushing the release key (20) from outside toward the longitudinal recess (14), the locking tab is pushed inward and moved out of engagement with the coupling projection (15), wherein the release key (20) is formed as a unit with a release mechanism (18) which is separately engaged in the longitudinal recess and supported on the casing (2), the release key (20) being inherently elastic and wherein the coupling (5) is disposed in a recess (4) of the casing (2) by means of a holding spur (23) and a locking wedge (24).
